Gavin Griffin, born on 28 August 1981 in Darien, Illinois, is an American professional poker player who attended Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. Starting as an internet poker player, he successfully made the transition to live poker and in 2004 broke Allen Cunningham's record as the youngest person ever to win a World Series of Poker title, taking a 3,000 dollar Pot Limit Texas hold'em event; he lost the record the following World Series to Eric Froehlich. In 2007 he won the Grand Final of the European Poker Tour in Monte Carlo after qualifying through a 240 dollar online satellite on PokerStars.com, a victory worth about 2,434,061 dollars that pushed him to the top of the all-time European Poker Tour winnings list. His other achievements include finishing third in a World Series of Poker Circuit event at Harrah's Rincon in San Diego.
