Rest in peace
Chip Reese you will be missed

#4 4th December 2007, 7:43 PM

You gotta be shittin' m.e

#5 4th December 2007, 7:43 PM

Wow, so young. Even happier that he won his HORSE title now and got the recognition he deserved as a top player while he was alive. The guy did live it up a bit when he was younger though.

#6 4th December 2007, 7:49 PM

Oh man! Most of the tournament pro's thought he was the best cash player in the world but never realy got the recognition he deserved. What a shame. More people know who Jamie F'king Gold is then him.

#7 4th December 2007, 8:03 PM

Well this just flat out sucks.

RIP sir, RIP.

#8 4th December 2007, 8:21 PM

How very sad. I enjoyed watching him play. RIP.

#9 4th December 2007, 8:23 PM

RIP Chip - and at such a young age yet. You will be truely missed Mr. Reese.

#10 4th December 2007, 8:32 PM

Sad, sad day. One of my favorites.

#11 4th December 2007, 8:38 PM

RIP Sir......

#12 4th December 2007, 8:46 PM

Wow. He will truly be missed. He is the only poker pro I've ever seen in person. He played a table next to me in march of '06 at the card room at the Las Vegas Hilton. I remember being quite awestruck that a player of that calibre was just a few feet from me.

RIP Reese!

#13 4th December 2007, 8:52 PM

Sad day. R.I.P. Chip.

#14 4th December 2007, 9:35 PM

Holy shit! I thought it was just an attention getter! This really blows

#15 4th December 2007, 9:42 PM

RIP chip

#16 4th December 2007, 9:43 PM

This is very sad news. RIP Mr.Reese.

#17 4th December 2007, 9:48 PM

Actually thought this was a joke when I read the post title because Chip was really in the prime of his life in many ways. Sad news indeed.

#18 4th December 2007, 9:48 PM

he will be missed
hopefully he is in a better place
he was truly a great poker player,one of the best

#19 4th December 2007, 9:58 PM

Man that really really really sucks, he is one of my favorite players. What a legend.

R.I.P Sir.

#20 4th December 2007, 10:03 PM

Sad day.

R.I.P

#21 4th December 2007, 10:08 PM

Great player what a shame

#22 4th December 2007, 10:09 PM

He is my favourite player of all time, and I'm really sad I never got to meet the guy. I had always dreamed to go to Vegas and shake his hand at Bobby's Room. His story of leaving college, rolling up his stake and heading to Vegas is probably what all of us young poker players dream of.

Chip Reese remains one of the greatest poker minds to walk this planet, he is the ultimate poker player, a gentlemen, and I send out my prayers to his family and friends.

#23 4th December 2007, 10:53 PM

Damn that really sucks!!!

RIP CHIP REESE!

#24 4th December 2007, 11:03 PM

Very very tragic. He was so young and I heard nothing of an illness. Must have been a heart attack or a brain anerism (sp?). He will go down in history as 1 of the all time greats. RIP

Article cites that he was checked into the hospital with symptoms of pneumonia

#26 4th December 2007, 11:08 PM

WOW...I opened Full Tilt and saw this and about crapped myself.....Sad...RIP Chip!

#27 4th December 2007, 11:10 PM

I can't believe this, he was 56. Doyle Brunson called him the best 7 card stud player he had ever seen.

R.I.P sir

^^^^^

I'm still in shock - he was so young and still in his prime. The ultimate Vegas legend who will live on through his death

RIP buddy

Damn- I was hoping this thread title was not true. That is very sad.

RIP

#30 5th December 2007, 12:28 AM

I enjoyed watching him play so much. What a sad day; my age,too.

#31 5th December 2007, 2:37 AM

R.I.P chip. Didnt get to see much of him but after watching the 2006 horse event i saw what he was about.

#32 5th December 2007, 2:45 AM

RIP, sir.
This is a sad day indeed.

#33 5th December 2007, 2:46 AM

The loss of Chip kind of reminds me of when Payne Stewart the golfer passed away. A legendary player who had a couple of titles under his belt, and loved by millions.

Poker has lost a great player and champion. Very sad.

Yeah but the people who know what they're talking about know who Chip Reese is and know that Jamie Gold is so far under his league that they were not even playing the same game. R.I.P Chip the poker world knows how how talented you were.

#35 8th December 2007, 1:05 PM

R.I.P. Indeed
He seemed to be one of the true class acts of the game as well as one of the best.

Too bad winning the HORSE Championship ended up being his crowning achievement, I was looking forward to a few more.
