More than a dozen events into the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP), it is time to look at the PokerNews WSOP Player of the Week.
This week, the Player of the Week distinction goes to none other than high stakes pro Dan Smith, who won his maiden WSOP bracelet and $509,717 in Event #6: $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship on Sunday, June 5 to have his name scrubbed from the list of "Best Poker Players Without a Bracelet."
After taking home his first piece of WSOP hardware, Smith made a deep run later in the week in Event #12: $50,000 High Roller that ultimately saw him finishing in 10th place for $100,000.
