Will Givens

Biography

Will Givens is an American professional poker player from Colorado known as much for his outspoken table presence as for his tournament results. A World Series of Poker bracelet winner, Givens has amassed more than $4 million in live tournament earnings, highlighted by a bracelet and multiple major victories on the live circuit.

In 2026, Givens made a deep run in the 2026 WSOP Main Event and entered Day 8 fifth in chips with 21 players left. During the event, Givens made headlines by leaving his seat deep in the event and getting blinded off.

"I was at the gym, I went harder, meditated longer," Givens said of why he showed up nearly half an hour late for Day 6. "I got some avocado toast and eggs, took a longer walk a different way, went outside, got some sun. I really was just in my own world, and now I got here," he said. At the end of Day 7, Givens did the same, walking off early alongside WSOP's Jeff Platt.

Previously, Givens was banned from all Caesars properties for four years for alleged theft. After being reinstated, Givens returned to the World Series of Poker and went on a deep run in the Main Event.
