The last few days have been very good for American Daniel Smith. After earning the win in the 5K Turbo event on Thursday, Smith has won his second 5K event, winning the 5K NLH event - collecting over 410K EURO in three days!
Moreover, Smith's two victories have allowed him to skyrocket up the charts in the 2012 QuadJacks Poker Player of the Year, powered by PTPRpoker.
Smith is now ranked #2 overall, becoming the second player to hit the 200-point mark this season. Smith is 54 points back of Canadian Jonathan Duhamel in the race for first.
J.P. Kelly (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-177th) was also having a fine tournament - that is, until he ran into the red-hot Smith. Kelly bowed out in fourth position in the event.
Dmitry Grinenko (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-350th) and Govert Metaal (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-444th) both earned their second QJ/PTPR Scores of 2012 in the event.
Zachary Korik, Jeff Gross, Mike Watson, Masa Kagawa and Maxim Lykov all cashed in the event.
