Notes about the Heads-Up Finalists

2008-01-31T20:29:00.001-05:00

We're on a short break before heads-up action begins.

Here's some notes on our final two players.

Gavin Griffin's first poker cash ever was a WSOP bracelet back in 2004, in 3,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em. His breakout year, though, was in 2007, when he won the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo for a cool $2.4 million. If Griffin pulls off the victory, he will be the first in history to hold a bracelet, EPT title and WPT title. He'd be the second to win a WPT and an EPT, after Roland de Wolfe, and he'd be the first to win an EPT Grand Final and a WPT.

David Tran is a veteran poker player whose cashes go back to 1998. Like Griffin, his big break came in 2007, when he managed 14th in the WSOP main event for a cool $429,114. Whether he finishes first or second, this will be his biggest cash to date.
