EZ POKER

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
