World Poker Tour cameraman Paul Hannum, a friend of Smith's, passed away five weeks ago at 45, and Smith moved quickly to organize support for his fiance, Sarah Percy, seven months pregnant with their child. On Wednesday, August 30, a benefit tournament staged at the Bike the night before the Legends of Poker final table pulled 115 players paying $1,000 each.
