She is more than just a pretty face at the tables. She has won the World Poker Tour's Ladies Night, beating out the likes of Jennifer Harman and Annie Duke for the title and is often in the thick of things when it comes down to crunch time in many of today's biggest tournaments.

Having appeared on numerous television shows including Good Morning America, Gowen is no stranger to the spotlight and is a great ambassador for the game. In addition to playing in major tournaments, she is one of the original members of Team Full Tilt and is a full time representative for Full Tilt Poker and frequently gives lectures to top businesses across the United States.



Gavin "Birdguts" Smith was born Sept. 4, 1968, in Guelph, Ontario, and has been playing poker for more than 16 years. His father taught him cribbage and rummy, but Smith advanced to poker by playing mixed games with his co-workers. In 1996 he became a dealer, and by 1998 he'd started his own poker club. His good friend Erick Lindgren helped bankroll him early in his career, and since then his cash winnings exceed $2.2 million.

Since 2000, Smith has placed in 32, or more, tournaments. Seventeen of his cashes occurred in 2005. He's made the final table in 21 events and gone heads up in six of them. His first major win was in the 2000 World Poker Finals stud eight-or-better event. In 2005, Smith won two events at the Mirage Poker Showdown, including the championship. Later that year he finished second at the Ultimate Poker Challenge at the Plaza, and third in the Doyle Brunson North American Poker Championship.

Smith is a representative of Full Tilt Poker.
