Famous Player

Chip Reese

If you ask any Las Vegas professional poker player to name the toughest high limit cash game player most will immediately say, "Chip Reese." He can often be found playing in Doyle's Game with the likes of Lyle Berman, Bobby Baldwin and Doyle. Players at this level may win or lose seven figures in a session. Chip has not played many tournaments but in recent months we have seen him on the televised WPT series. Fans of professional tournament poker look forward to seeing this master of the game during these rare appearances. Chip turned pro in 1975 after a stop in Vegas when he was on the way to Stanford School of Law. He won about sixty thousand in a tournament and never made it to Stanford because the monetary incentive for law is not nearly as great as for poker.
