David Edward “Chip” Reese (born March 28, 1951) is an American professional gambler from Centerville, Ohio.
Reese wrote the seven-card stud section for Doyle Brunson’s Super System, the best-selling poker book of all time. In it, Brunson describes Reese as “one of the two finest young … poker players in the world” and the best seven-card stud player he had ever played.
He won the $1000 Seven Card Stud Split event at the World Series of Poker in 1978, and the $5000 Seven Card Stud tournament there in 1982. His tournament results may seem modest, but he has decided to concentrate his efforts on cash games instead. He has been named in various gamblers’ magazines as the best all-around gambler in the world, being proficient not only at all games of poker but also in games like gin and backgammon.
He later became the card room manager at the Dunes casino. In 1991, he became the youngest living player to be inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame. As of 2006, he still plays poker but also bets on sports.
As of 2006, his total live tournament winnings exceed $2,500,000

Smith first came to note by winning tournaments in no limit Texas hold ‘em and seven card stud in the 1999 and 2000 World Poker Finals at Foxwoods Resort Casino.
He first cashed in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in 2003 and would later make the money in the $10,000 no limit hold’em main event in 2004, finishing 52nd. He went on to cash in 2005 also (471st).

Gus Hansen Wins Aussie Millions
Posted: February 3rd, 2007 under Poker Players, Poker Tournaments, ezPoker News. Comments: none
Gus Hansen proved once again that he’s more than just a pretty face on January 18.
The “Great Dane”, who was signed as a Full Tilt pro at the 2006 World Series of Poker, did his sponsor proud when he beat out a field of 747 players, then neatly dispatched PokerStars online player and onetime tournament chip leader Jimmy “gobboboy” Fricke. For his efforts–which were nicely topped off by a lucky final hand of pocket Aces–Hansen claimed a $1.5 million prize purse. Gobboboy isn’t hurtin’ too bad, though–he cashed a cool $1 million for his efforts. Full Tilt players made a good showing elsewhere at the event, too.
Erick Lindgren won the $100K buy in tournament, beating out fellow big-money players like Tony G and Daniel Negreanu to cash in for $1 million.
PKR - 3d online poker
Posted: February 1st, 2007 under Online Poker Reviews, ezPoker News. Comments: none
Official introduction from PKR.com is: PKR’s unique ‘Emote control’ technology, combined with a number of other one-of-a-kind game features mean players on PKR can interact and engage with the game and each other in a way that’s personal, involving and highly entertaining.
PKR brings the personality into online poker!
Ok then… i have tested PKR myself few days ago and i gonna give my personnal opinion on it.
All poker software look as the same. Some are better than others but they never are really differents. When i checked out PKR 3D online poker, i thought it was a good idea to try to make more intense and realistic online poker. For those who play with real people, they know how it’s difficult to play online since you can’t see any tells.
So i was really curious about 3D online poker and i had to check this out hehe!
And my first impression was just! wow! Those guys at PKR did a pretty good job.
First thought coming to my mind when i launched PKR software is : damn! am i playing to second life lol.?
You can choose your avatar and personnalize it. That’s pretty cool and you got enough options to make your avatar looking almost like you.
Like every poker software you can browse different tables in real or play money mode. My advice s to start in play money because it’s not so easy to get accustomed to this 3D software.
More than words, big screenshots will show you how it looks:
1. Poker table - dynamic view (camera is active like on Tv show)
2. Checking other players, you can fake some expression - dynamic view
3. Checking my hand. One of my favorite feature - you check your hand like pro playing in real life hehe! (You can notice that my hand was pretty damn good;))
4. This is what happens when you win! All informations are clear and visible.
5. During the hand you can give your avatar some expressions (called tells in Poker) and even some words. To be honest that’s not really easy to manage while you play and have to actually really think about your hand. But it’s pretty fun and you can use some tricks 
6. Ok, this one has nothing to do with Poker, but isn’t she sexy? With PKR 3D online you can watch exactly where you move your mouse - so i couldn’t resist to taka look at this babe playing next to me lol.
To conclude i would say PKR 3D online poker is FUN! You won’t find very good players out there (that could be an advantage though) or famous poker player either but you will enjoy the concept for sure. You must have a good computer and a fast internet connection or you won’t be able to play one hand without making a nervous break down!!
PKR is really innovative and worth to be tested.
