Gavin Smith makes it a point to have fun doing whatever it is he may be doing.  In an interview last night Gavin said he had fun back when he was broke, had fun driving a cab, and has fun playing poker.  He is living up to that statement today, being chatty at the table and drawing laughs from the crowd on a few occasions.

An also talkative Kathy Liebert was asking Ryan “Gotskillz” Fisler about his training sight and after Ryan had replied that she should go to RealPokerTraining.com and watch the videos Kathy asked how much?  After being told by Ryan it was, using his word, cheap, Gavin Smith piped up to let Ryan know he shouldn’t call his product cheap.  Ryan agreed that calling it inexpensive or a good value was the way to go.  This friendly back and forth conversation had the crowd laughing.

The amount of fan support for Gavin is tremendous.  He is a Canadian, with family within an hours drive of the Fallsview so he has plenty of support here today, but anywhere in the world Gavin would likely be one of the fan favorites.  His personality draws people to him and makes them want to see him succeed.

While Gavin and Liebert have been the most talkative, chip leader Glen Witmer has been almost silent, and Marc “Myst” Karam seems to be focused on the task at hand.  So far Witmer is the most conservative at the table, sitting on his chip lead and not getting involved in many pots.  Liebert has also been relatively quiet as well with most of the action happening between Smith, Fisler, Karam, and Trenholm, but with no huge pots developing as of yet.
