Poker World Loses a Legend

This morning Chip Reese was found dead in his sleep at 56. Scary. Chip, for those of you who don't know, was considered by many to be the best all-around poker player in the world. He won only three WSOP braclets as he was mainly a cash game player and a frequent member of the Big Game at Bellagio.

Reese cemented his place in poker history in 2006 when he won the inaugural $50,000 Horse event at the World Series for his third, and final, bracelet.

UPDATE: Reese passed away in his sleep in a hospital. he had been admitted the night before with Pneumonia-like symptoms.
