Joe Stapleton

Joe Stapleton

Joe Stapleton hails from upstate New York, which he wants people to realize is "nothing like New York City. It's basically Alabama with snow." After college in Boston, Stapleton immediately packed his bags for California in order to realize his dreams in Hollywood, California. He settled for working at MADtv instead.

After being unlucky enough to be laid off during the summers, but having been lucky enough to have hitched his star to former poker quasi-celebrity Scott Huff's wagon back in college (in the least gay way possible) - the two started working for Card Player Magazine during the 2005 World Series of Poker.

Joe Sebok

Joe Sebok

Although Joe Sebok comes from a poker family – his stepfather is Barry Greenstein – he didn’t take an interest in the game for a long time. In fact, Joe admitted that as late as 2004, he didn’t know that a flush beats a straight. He certainly seems to know now.

Joe originally started out on a very different path, graduating from UC Berkeley into the dot-com boom of the 1990’s. However, like so many others, he fell victim to the bursting bubble and, after being laid off from dot-coms four times in quick succession, he decided to just “check out” and travel for a while.

Gavin Smith

Gavin Smith

Gavin has been playing poker since 1994, when he discovered the roving charity casinos in the Toronto area. He turned pro in 1998. That year, Gavin played in his first poker tournaments during the World Poker Finals at Foxwoods and he made two final tables.

His first major tournament win came in the 1999 World Poker Finals, when Gavin won a No-Limit Hold 'em tournament. The next year at Foxwoods, he won a 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo 8 or Better tournament. Since then, he's made a dozen more final tables.
