I was Informed late last night Gavin Smith World renowned Canadian Poker Legend has unexpectedly Passed.
No one could entertain make you smile :) or pissed :( then go on to run the table like him.
Win or lose he would shake your hand. if you let him then tell you well played...
"it's in the cards"
take me in Rock Paper Scissors later :)
Rest In Peace My Man...January 14 2019 in Texas

Once upon a time I played a lot of Poker. Online and Live.!
The Pictures were taken in 2010 at the Windsor Hotel in Montreal. Was a Full Tilt Charity Tournament.
This was the second time I had the privilege of sitting at the same table with Gavin Smith.
We both got eliminated on a Saturday evening.
Instead of twiddle or thumbs...What else to do In Montreal on a Saturday night? Hmmm....Rippers? ;)

Second pic....Gavin grinding. Everyone crowds around to watch his table and Ignores every other table...The man has 5 unknown people behind him staring down his cards. Everyone at that table wants to knock him out.
No complaints, It's for charity!.

The Best! Gavin Takes Ivy Heads up. A Lil Drunk but whatev. :) 9.06min, Nut Flush...Ooops and admits his fault.

My deepest condolences to his two children and family.
A go fund me has been set up to benefit his two young children. If you happen to be in the position and love the game. . He is a single father and sole provider, this would be a great cause.
