Legendary Poker Player David “Chip” Reese Dead at 56

David ‘Chip’ Reese 

Poker enthusiasts have lost a great champion. David “Chip” Reese has died at his Las Vegas home in his sleep at the age of 56. He had been suffering from complications from pneumonia.

After graduating from Dartmouth College, Reese headed for Las Vegas with plans to attend Stanford Business School in the fall. But during that summer, Reese won a tournament for $40,000 and continued to grow his bankroll to over $100,000 and never went on to graduate school. In 1978, Chip Reese won his first WSOP bracelet in the Seven Card Stud Split event. In 1982, Reese scored another WSOP bracelet in the $5,000 Seven Card Stud event.

He was admired by many in the professional poker circuit and will be missed.
