EPT GRAND FINAL: SMITH IS SICK! WINS THIRD 5K TITLE IN A WEEK!!!

PICTURE: POKERSTARS (Neil Stoddart)

Dan Smith is on a sick, sick, sick run! One week ago, Smith entered the Casino Monte Carlo looking to score his first PTPR Points for 2012. Smith had won the 100K Aussie Millions Challenge but no PTPR Points were available for that event.

A few days later, Smith has three major victories and rules the 2012 QuadJacks Poker Player of the Year Top 10, powered by PTPRpoker.

Smith's latest victory brings his six-day total winnings to over 530K EURO - well done Mr. Smith!

Smith (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 1st) captured the win in the 5K No Limit Six-Max Event, defeating Toby Lewis heads up. Lewis (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-116th) and Smith actually agreed to a deal before continuing heads up and Lewis ends up with more money for finishing second.

2011 WSOP bracelet winner Matthew Perrins (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-398th) was fifth in the event.

Chris Brammer (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-327th), Dmitry Grinenko (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 306th) and Isaac Haxton (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 67th) were other Final Table notables.
