Justin "BoostedJ" Smith beat Tony G heads up and took down the WPT London £15K High Roller event title and £141,000 first prize. Smith is a young high stakes 6-max specialist with good tournament results both online and offline. Smith won FTOPS III main event for $232,000 and has cashed over $1,5 million from live tournaments.
This is the third big World Poker Tour score for the 21-year-old American. Smith was the runner up of the $10,000 WPT Championship (Bellagio Cup VI) and cashed $594,755 in July 2010. Smith finished 3rd in the Bellagio Cup in 2009 for $464,870, so although he has cashed for almost $1,5 million from the live circuit, this was Smith's first trophy from a major live tournament. "Feels sooooo good to have finally won a tournament...especially a WPT", Smith commented on his Twitter after the win.
