Bill Smith has had great success at the WSOP, having seen three final tables at the main event. First, in 1981, he placed fifth. Then a few years later in 1985, Bill became the champion, placing first and winning $700k. He didn't have an easy time winning with three time WSOP champion Johnny Moss, Berry Johnston, and T.J. Cloutier at his final table, but nonetheless, came out on top. Bill later went on to place fifth at the 1986 main event. He was known to be one of the tightest players when he was sober, but when he was halfway drunk, he played great poker, making great reads on his opponents. But if he ever went past the halfway mark, he played carelessly. Bill Smith is now deceased, but is still recognized as one of the poker greats.
