MattSmith.jpgIs this what you look like after you get Aces cracked, losing to a gutshot straight draw? A big, hulking albino? Or is that the look of today’s Internet wunderkind - pasty and doughy from that combination of Cheetos and a lack of sunshine? Unfortunately, Jason Kirk, reporting live from Tunica on the WSOP Circuit Series beat, didn’t get that question answered, so we’re left with nothing but wild assumptions. Like a guess that today’s posterboy, Matt Smith, must have some fantastically rare body temperature condition to be rocking a parka in the Mississippi summer.

The $500 PL Hold ‘Em tournament didn’t attract any pros either, but Jason did pass along a rumor that everyone’s favorite frosted pastry treat is on his way to Tunica for the bigger money events. We gleefully await the minute-by-minute updates of Cinnabon-y wonderment.
