In memory of Chip Reese
New Year’s resolutions are all about learning from the past to enhance the future. And a poker player that everyone can most certainly learn from is David “Chip” Reese, who sadly past away on the 4th December 2007.
Chip was the youngest player to be inducted into the poker hall of fame, in history. Mike Sexton from the WSOP, recently paid tribute to Reese, saying: “Chip Reese was probably the most successful poker player in history. For years, most players considered Chip to be the best all-around poker player and by winning the inaugural $50,000 buy-in HORSE tournament at the 2006 WSOP, he cemented that status. Chip has always been admired by players for his success, his demeanour at the table, and the fact that he never steamed or went on tilt. When you mention poker 'greats', put Chip Reese on the top of the list.”
I'e just heard that to honour this great poker player, future winners of the $50,000 buy in event will receive not only the cash prize and more importantly the David “Chip” Reese Award.
