Chan and Smith Chip Up Early

Level 2 : 150/300, 0 ante

Johnny Chan wasn't seated on the first round through the Amazon Orange section but he can now be found right next to Christopher Frank, and he has built a decent early profit after moving up to almost two times the starting stack.

Another familiar face from the poker boom in the 2000's is Gavin Smith and he was also spotted in the same section. Smith's bet of 2,000 on the {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} was called by table neighbor Lisa Buck, who then nodded and mucked kings when Smith had rolled over the {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for two pair.
