  • Poker Players R.I.P.

    From Irish Mike@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 7 22:31:56 2023
    Just watched the 20th Anniversary WPT Show. They showed
    clips from their tournaments over the last 20 yeas, all
    the big name players and Mike Sexton doing the commentary.
    It brought back a lot of memories. They also had an
    "In Memoriam" segment and this is the list of Poker Players:

    Mike Sexton
    Layne Flack
    Gavin Smith
    Chip Reese
    Dave Ulliot
    Matt Marafioti
    Jerry Buss
    Chad Brown
    John Gale
    Todd Terry
    Thor Hansen
    Keith Kozar

    Shuffle up and deal lads - R.I.P.

    I didn't know Layne Flack died. Only 52. Cocaine, fentanyl and methamphetamine intoxication. How sad. Full-time poker is not the healthiest lifestyle, to say the least.

    I was just about to post the same thing, I did not know Layne Flack died. I played with him many times online. Too young.
