button in SafariDoctor Goes to Work Before Playing Final Table, Ends Up Winning $136,054
One hand changed Kyle Smith’s destiny. He would either have a big chip lead, or, as he called it, he would make the “biggest punt in tournament poker history.” Smith, though, wound up on the right side of that sharp dividing line, and it made all the difference today at the final table of the Potomac Summer Poker Open $3,000 Main Event.
Smith’s double up off start-of-day chip leader Patrick Martorella right at the beginning of the final table gave him a massive chip lead and propelled him on to victory as the family doctor took down the title and $136,054 top prize after agreeing to a heads-up deal with Phong Nguyen.
