Smith said it was nothing, but Rich wouldn't let the matter go. "You said something about 26-year olds and poker players. What was it?"
"Nothing," Smith said.
Rich kept pressing the matter and Smith finally suggested he go read a book.
"Which one?" Rich asked.
"Anyone you want," Smith responded.
Not happy with the response, Rich then challenged Smith to play heads up after the tournament. Smith laughed him off and turned to a young spectator at the rail.

Reslock had a pair of aces and a nut flush draw while Leyo had a straight draw and a pair of sevens. He asked for a seven or a nine on the river, and got what he wanted when a seven hit the board.
He's now sitting on about 140,000 chips.
Just a reminder once again that Thang Luu is STILL in the field. Two years ago, he placed second in the event behind Frankie O'Dell and last year, Luu took down the title. If he wins this one, the WSOP might have to think about renaming this event the Thang Luu Classic.
