Gavin Smith goes into the final day of the 2008 North American Poker Championship looking to win his second WPT title and his first on his home Canadian soil. He’ll being play sitting second in chips and will have to deal with Kathy Leibert on his right.
Day 4 saw the field go from 27 down to the final 6 for the televised final table. Miami John Cernuto was the first to get eliminated on the day when his short stack 88 was taken out by AQ. Miami John earned $38,039 (Canadian) for his efforts.
Erik Seidel was knocked out in 10th, the “final table” bubble (not to be confused with the final TV table) with another race getting all-in with QQ versus AK. He picked up $49,450.
Player / author / blogger Matt Mattros was eliminated in 7th taking some of the luster off a promising televised final table. It certainly would have been an interesting final table to add Mattros to a final table with Gavin Smith and Kathy Leibert. $95,097 Canadian to try and explain to border patrol.
Glenn Witmer – 3,710,000
Gavin Smith – 2,815,000
Ryan Fisler – 2,285,000
Marc Karam – 1,850,000
Kathy Leibert – 1,620,000
James Trenholm – 1,365,000
I’m personally pulling for Gavin Smith to win it all as I’ve promised to post an embarrasing picture of him singing Mr. Brightside by The Killers if he takes it down.
