Superb Start For Smith
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Derrik Smith is one of the many players using the excellent MyStack app to update his friends and family back home — are you using it? If not, why not? — and 10 minutes ago he updated his stack to 60,000, stating he won with aces versus kings all-in preflop.
We headed over to his table in tan section to confirm his stack there he was twice as many chips as he started with. Smith told us that he thinks he six-bet shoved and Mark Hodos called and the board ran true.
There's a long, long way to go in this tournament, but doubling your starting stack 10 minutes into the first level must be a good omen. We'll keep an eye on Smith as the day progresses.
