Balancing Table Talk = Dan Harrington + Gavin Smith
No idea if Gavin Smith and Dan Harrington were intentionally placed together at a 2010 WSOP featured table but it certainly makes for better video. Harrington might have more chips at the moment but everyone knows...Smith will pick up the slack in the talking department. Pretty sure some of this footage will end up on ESPN Classic. … [More...]
