Gavin Griffin (born August 28, 1981 in Darien, Illinois) is an American professional poker player. Starting as a internet poker player, he successfully made the transition to live poker, and became the youngest person ever to win a World Series of Poker title [1] in 2004, winning a $3,000 Pot Limit Texas hold'em event. In 2007 he won the Main Event at the European Poker Tour, after qualifying via a $240 online qualifying tournament on PokerStars.com [2]. His victory paid him €1,825,010 ($2,434,061) which pushed him to the top of the all-time European Poker Tour winnings list. Other achievements include finishing 3rd in a World Series of Poker Circuit Event at Harrah's Rincon in San Diego.
As of 2007, his total live tournament winnings exceed $2,900,000 [3].
