Word first hit the poker world late Monday night that Casey Reese, the 20-year-old son of poker legend Chip Reese, had passed away as the result of a drug overdose. Phil Hellmuth was the first to let the poker community know via his Twitter account. The sad news was confirmed today by Daniel Negreanu on the Full Contact Poker forums:"I was at Bellagio last night when we all got the news. Very sad. Everyone took it pretty hard. Kid was 20 years old, an incredible baseball pitcher, super smart, good looking kid… very sad. Chau was a very good friend of both Chip and Casey and while he came down to play poker he just couldn’t do it. It was a shock. People were both sad, and also pretty angry at the same time. " (More)
