Various trusted media outlets are reporting that poker Hall of Famer Chip Reese died in his sleep early this morning.
Wicked Chops mentions some recent flu or pneumonia symptoms, but nothing has been confirmed.
NOTE: His PokerPages bio notes that when Chip was asked when he might consider quitting poker, he replied, I’ll stop playing at my funeral, and only God knows what I’ll do after that.
UPDATE: According to Gary Wise in this ESPN article, Chip called his doctor late Monday night complaining of pneumonia symptoms but never did go to the hospital. He died at home in his sleep.
