I feel like a proud parent.  More specifically, I feel like the proud parent of a thirty-something year-old, Bacardi-and-Coke-loving Canadian.  Congratulations to Gavin Smith - the chipleader going into the final table of the $1,500 pot-limit hold'em event.  Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, Gavin and I work together on PokerWire Radio.  He's the best kind of co-worker: unpredictable, occasionally professional, and absolutely hilarious.  Whether he's cracking us up with a classic Gavinism, threatening to quit the show, or socking me in the arm (what bruise?), it's always a good time.

So, from your's truly and the rest of the PokerWire Radio team, congrats and good luck.  Hail to the king, baby!

PS - Did I mention I have Gavin on my Full Tilt fantasy team...
