If you play the Black side of the Sicilian, you need to have something prepared against the Smith-Morra. In this game, we get a glimpse of Eric's preparation.
But I suspect that White's move order was suboptimal: why not play 7.O-O and see how Black chooses to develop? 7.Bf4 is unnecessarily committal.
It's nice to get the first point on the board!
