Thus far, 2012 has been an incredible year for "King" Dan Smith. He started it off by winning the $100,000 Aussie Millions Challenge, then he took down three €5,000 side events at the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo? Casino EPT Grand Final, won the €50,000 Super High Roller at EPT Barcelona, and shipped the PokerStars Sunday Million.

"I have my number," he said.
"Twenty-three," McNelis guessed.
"Twenty-three is actually my favorite number," Smith said, revealing his phone. "But the number is one. That's the best guess you could've made, though."
Smith happily stacked his newfound chips, and is looking to add to his already incredible 2012 résumé.
