The legendary Chip Reese?

Tuesday, the poker world erupted with shock and condolences David "Chip" Reese died at the age of 56. He was a legendary cash-game player, three-time WSOP bracelet winner. "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. http://youtube.com/watch?v=kWudqDcc5To 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. http://www.myspace.com/chipreese Nice answers everybody. Sabes99, I gave Bobby's room as an example. I don't suggest to change the name. But the high stake players often play at the Venitian, so why not a private room there?

1. Maybe name the WSOP $50,000 HORSE Tournament after him. He was the one to win the tournament after it was brought back to the WSOP. "The Chip Reese WSOP HORSE" Tournament. Like many I was sad to see him go, with so many players crying about some questionable play or having a bad beat-it was nice to see someone who just said nice hand and moved on.
2. Lets take a moment to sit in silence
3. i think jimb105's idea is most appropriate, which would be to name the $50k horse tournament after him as he was the inaugural winner...i don't know if renaming bobby's room is the best idea even though that's where chip spent his time, but bobby is clearly deserving of holding the honor as well...the thing he didn't do that chip did was win that $50k tourney, and i think naming the event after him would be the best way to honor him in the poker world also, i think it would be good for the wpt to name an event after him, much as it did for doyle brunson
4. Hopefully, somebody will have the sense to honor him as one of poker's all time great players. I think naming an event or poker room after him would be very appropriate. I also think the best way players can honor him is to play like him. Be ladies and gentlemen at the poker table. Show respect to your opponents. Be gracious in your losses and humble in your successes. That's the greatest thing he left the game.
