    RIP Gavin Smith!

    I just heard that he passed away this morning.

    Very sad, so young and I think he has kids as well!

    :-(

    Oh my I just called the other "owner" of the poker club and he passed away last night in his sleep. He had sleep apnea and this time he just didnt wake up.


    Get your CPAP machines boys if you need one


    TRUE STORY! I knocked him out of the Main Event back in 2015 and then I knocked out Ted Forrest on the same table

    Horrible. He was amazing on old podcasts with Joe Seboc. So funny and happy to lucky. At least that’s how he came across A guy you’d wanna have a drink with and just listen to the stories.

    Very sad to hear. I know he had sole-custody of his kids. He was a great person on and off the felt.

    RIP. Saw him in elevator at Rio few years ago.

    Have to admit that he didn't keep himself in good shape/health.

    Well the drinking leads to the weight. I drink a lot (booze with diet soda), eat Paleo and workout a ton. Helps I'm Scottish though

    Yes the lifestyle, stress, and weight will kill you though

    No joke I'd say around 70 if I didn't know who he was

    His biological age was surely more than his actual age. Was that photo recent? If so, looks like he made a late charge to lose some wt.
