The World Poker Tour (WPT) has named Gavin Smith as the Season IV Player of the Year.

Smith recently won the 2005 Mirage Poker Showdown and also qualified for the final table of two other $10,000 buy-in WPT events.

Howard Lederer, Full Tilt Poker representative, said: "Getting to a WPT final table is an accomplishment achieved by many.

"But making three final tables in one season, including a win, shows that Gavin is among poker's elite competitors."

Full Tilt is a poker group containing a number of quality players such as Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson and Andy Bloch – Smith is the third player from the Full Tilt group to win the accolade.
