Poker News: Farewell To Poker Legend Chip Reese
February 24, 2008
David “Chip” Reese is considered by many to be the greatest high stakes cash game poker player in the world.
Chip Reese was born David Edward Reese in Dayton, Ohio in 1951. As a child, David had an uncanny talent for winning at cards and often played with the other kids in the neighborhood for the high stakes of baseball cards and bubble gum. Having suffered from a case of rheumatic fever, David was forced to stay home from elementary school for the better part of a year. His mother entertained him by teaching him how to play several board and card games, including backgammon and gin rummy. Reese has said that the time he spent at home helped make him the card player that he is today.
