One of the fun guys in the days we all used to play and watch on tv. Title: Re: Gavin Smith RIP Post by: booder on January 15, 2019, 08:26:55 PM Always enjoyed watching him.
R.I.P Title: Re: Gavin Smith RIP Post by: Marky147 on January 15, 2019, 09:28:21 PM Jeez, that's a shocker.
Met him the first time I played the WSOP, and always came across as a proper happy go lucky chap. RIP Title: Re: Gavin Smith RIP Post by: Doobs on January 15, 2019, 11:10:37 PM He has been the life and soul of the table when he has sat on my O8 tables a couple of times in recent years. Clearly likes a drink, but seems genuinely friendly to everyone at the table, even those he has just met. The O8 WSOP events will be quieter this year.
RIP Title: Re: Gavin Smith RIP Post by: tikay on January 16, 2019, 10:59:21 AM Very sad, and as Doobs wrote, he certainly livened up the 4 card tables & was huge fun. I was not a fan back in the day when they had all those ridiculous televised Full Tilt cash games with what was clearly (& later shown to be) moody money, nonchalantly chucking around bricks of $100 bills, but when I got to know him I discovered we had a shared interest in Harley Davidson motorcycles, & he always found time to chat even with recreationals like myself. Here's a nice, if rather gushy, piece about Gavin by Nolan Dalla. http://www.nolandalla.com/the-windmills-of-my-mind-remembering-gavin-smith/ RIP Gav. Title: Re: Gavin Smith RIP Post by: Kev B on January 16, 2019, 11:13:41 AM Very sad, just 50 too. RIP Gavin.
Title: Re: Gavin Smith RIP Post by: Doobs on May 20, 2019, 12:50:43 AM I won't be out there at the time, but if anyone is, there is a Gavin Smith memorial tournament at this year's WSOP (a week on Tuesday).

Would have played this if I was out there. More Greyhounds than a dog track! |
