“As many have said and will continue to say, Chip Reese was always a gentlemen. He was easily the best cash game and overall poker player around. He has always been one of my favorite players and it is sad that we just lost one of the Poker Greats. He’s in God’s hands now and I know he’ll be winning the Big Game in the Sky” Johnny Chan.
Our heart-felt condolences for his family.

Should we name a poker event after him? (ei the Chip Reese poker classic?) A specific poker hand? A poker room (like Bobby’s room at the Bellagio)
Give me your thoughts, on that. Thank you.

I’m sure there will be several tournaments named after him, and I’m sure the WPT will have one game named after him during their 2008 taping, like the Doyle Brunson Classic.
He was always enjoyable to watch play. He was a gentleman about it for sure, never did you see him lose control like others do (Mike the Mouth, The Brat) He took every win and loss with ease.
I see the Palms naming a poker room after him.
