Being short-stacked probably never felt so good for Gavin Smith.
463 of the starting 745 made it to Day 2 of the 2010 WPT LAPC Main Event. Gavin Smith ranks 462nd in chips.
However, he out-lasted Joe Sebok and 9/11 conspiracist/rapper Jeff Madsen in their last longer prop bet. So sometime in the next couple of weeks, Joe Sebok with get both Gavin and Madsen’s faces inked on his body, and Madsen will get Smith’s mug somewhere on his skin. More to come on this later.
The 745 entrants is among the largest WPT fields in recent memory (BJ…?) creating a first place prize of $1,788,001. Masaaki Kagawasounds like a really cool and sleek Japanese motorcycle is the Day 1 chip leader with 124,575. He’s followed by Mark Seif with 122,025.
Get full chip counts here. Watch the above and below the fold vids for everyone’s take on the tat prop bet. And let us know what you think of new tourney web host Jacque.
Leaving the Bahamas for Niagra Falls apparently wasn't a bad idea after-all.
In non-PCA poker tournament news, Gavin Smith grinded through a 19-hour final day to win the Fallsview Classic Poker Invitational’s $2,500 buy-in event.
This tourney was formerly known as the WPT North American Poker Championships. Smith outlasted a field of 267 to bank $188,743.
Looks like both he and 9/11 conspiracist/rapper Jeff Madsen are running good going into their LAPC tattoo prop bet with Joe Sebok.
Looks like poker players Joe Sebok and Gavin Smith, as well as and 9/11 conspiracist/rapper Jeff Madsen are back at making crazy prop bets. This time though, it’s revisiting an old theme.
Seebs, Gavin, and Madsen are making a LAPC Main Event last-longer prop bet where the losers have to get the other two people’s faces inked on their body.
Sooooo, Gavin, myself, and Jeff Madsen have all entered into a blood pact…quite literally…in the form of another last longer bet, and another tattoo consequence. This time a little scarier. Whoever is the fist person to bust at this year’s LAPC in Los Angeles will be forced to immediately get the other two fellow’s ugly mugs tattooed on his body…their damn faces (!)…right then…by an in house tattoo artist! The next to bust will only have to get the ultimate winner’s face tattooed on himself, so he gets out pretty easy. The last standing, of course, merely gets to laugh and watch as the other two get their new ink.

We haven’t seen the ratings yet for this past week’s Face the Ace, but our guess is they couldn’t have been much worse than the premiere.
After beating Erick Lindgren and Howard Lederer last week, this episode featured Don Topel going for one million dollars. Not to spoil it for you, but it didn’t happen. Ok fuck it we spoiled it. Gavin Smith beat him. Steve Schirripa still sucked. Click the above vid to watch it.
We’re just about a week away from putting our Girls on the Rail Hall of Fame up for vote. We view the first edition of the GOTR HOF kind of like the baseball version…we are looking for the transcendent Girls on the Rail. The Babe Ruth (except hotter and skinnier) or Ty Cobb (except minus the blinding racism) of GOTRs. The ones that either took the poker community by storm or reached out further into mainstream press. The induction will be a combination of your votes and the Entities. But again, more details to come.
In the above vid, Jason Alexander, Brad Garrett (whose girlfriend quickly catapulted herself into the potential nominee and inductee stratosphere), and Gavin Smith weigh-in with their thoughts.
Ok, Jean-Robert Bellande has been vlogging for some time now. But leave it to Gavin Smith to aptly rebrand and reposition JRB’s vlog as something bigger and better: The Robert Report. Watch above clip for more.
