Sweet Start for Smith
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Canadian Elliot Smith is off to a dream start. The British Columbia native opened to 25,000 on the first hand from under the gun and Artem Metalidi three-bet to 63,000, one seat over.
Action folded back around to Smith who four-bet jammed for 256,000 and Metalidi quickly called.
Metalidi: 
Smith: 
A sick cooler right off the bang. The board ran out 
and Smith raked in an easy double-up.
