Reese to be remembered at WSOP
December 15, 2007
The World Series of Poker have ensured that the memory of David “Chip” Reese will continue to live on by naming the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E trophy after the man who many people believe was the greatest all round poker player of his generation.
“As a tribute to this great player who embodied the very best of our game, next year’s $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship will be played in Chip’s honor and memory,” confirmed Jeffrey Pollack, commissioner of the World Series of Poker. “The winner will receive the ‘David “Chip” Reese Award,’ as well as a WSOP bracelet, to commemorate his achievement.”
Reese, the winner of the inaugral WSOP H.O.R.S.E. Championship, died in his sleep last week after complaining of pneumonia symptoms.
