How old is the youngest poker player that you know? Is there some sort of age limit when it comes to playing poker if it's not in a casino?

The youngest player I've heard of is the 21 year old who won the five million pound prize at world series a few years ago. I read it in an article but I can't remember his name.

I guess if the minimum age for playing poker at all is about 18 years everywhere, then you don't expect to hear of a really good player who is much younger than 21.

I know people who started playing for buttons or matches long before they went into a casino and even one school with a poker club. The youngest professional players would be older because they are limited by gambling laws, which I think is 18 almost everywhere. The US is also affected by the presence of alcohol at the tables, which pushes many places up to 21 minimum admittance.

With the rise in online gambling sites, I'm sure there are players who are much younger than the legal age. I think you meant to ask the age of the youngest player who's ever won a grand prize?
