Hailing from Ledbury, English poker player Asa Smith is a big hitter, with total live earnings of USD 673,676. His career history dates back to 2008, with impressive stints in tournaments like the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and EPT Sanremo. However, Smith’s big break came in 2009 when he placed fifth in the Main Event at EPT Barcelona, cashing a massive € 200,000 (USD 286,123)—still his most lucrative win.

Smith has made a name for himself as a heavy cashier, constantly bagging five-digit wins. Following his six-figure cash, Smith’s most significant successes occurred at APPT Macau in 2015, cashing HKD 293,000 (USD 37,790) in the High Roller event, APT Incheon in 2023, cashing KRW 93,680,000 (USD 70,903) in the Single Day High Roller 8 Max event, and his most recent stint at APT Jeju, where he placed second in the Baby SuperStar event, cashing KRW 118,387,100 (USD 86,262).
