Chip Reese dies

Very popular pro Chip Reese has died at the age of 56. He died after a bout of pnemonia.

Reese was widely regarded as the best Stud player in the world, and was a regular at the biggest Las Vegas cash games.

In 2006 he won the WSOP 50K HORSE, a win which got him many accolates of being the best poker player in the world. Reese, always polite and modest, would've no doubt disputed this, but with the 50K HORSE win, and 2 other WSOP bracelets he was certainly right up there with the best.

He will be sadly missed by the broad poker community, particularly his friends and regulars from the Bellagio.

Tony G Moscow Millions

Tony G has won the first ever Moscow Millions, an event which looks likely to grow quickly over the forthcoming years.

Tong G, infamous for his "Bring on the Russians" tirade against Ralpe Perry, really did put his money where his mouth is, taking down the event against a small, but high quality field.

A great win for Tony. Just over 200K. Well done
