Shortly afterwards, Smith was again seen in the middle of a raising contest, this time sitting in the big blind. He squeezed to 7,600 over a raise from under the gun and three flats. The action folded around to Bruno Portaro who studied Smith's remaining stack and then placed forward what looked like a covering pile of chips. Smith, to make sure, announced he was all in and Portaro declared the call for Smith's 38,600.

Smith was ahead and Portaro couldn't catch up on the 
board, shipping a juicy double to the high stakes superstar.
"Fortunate turn of events," Smith concluded.
