Devastating loss. Just terrible. Dude shaped our world. No wonder we can't have anything nice.

Adios Amigo.

[Glenn's take]

Next time I get 10-2 hole cards I'm going all in pre-flop.

Just kidding.

Played with him in the WSOP in 2009 ( I think ) could have been 2010. Neat old guy to talk to and a great story teller. This was the only time I was ever at the same table with him

Great memory. Good deal.

Anyone know, did he live hard? 89 great regardless.

Maybe they'll put a poker table in the hole first and put his casket on it. Over maybe they'll bury him in Binion's.

What will the Quciksilver do without him? RIP in Bluegrass heaven
