Biography Timeline

Shortly afterwards, Reese collaborated on 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 $1,000 Seven Card Stud Split event at the World Series of Poker in 1978, and the $5,000 Seven Card Stud event in 1982. Reese decided to concentrate his efforts on cash games, however. He later became the card room manager at the Dunes casino. In 1991, Reese became the youngest living player to be inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame. By 2006, he was still playing poker, also betting on sports.

At the 2006 World Series of Poker, Reese won the inaugural $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event, taking home the $1,716,000 first prize when his A♣ Q♣ held up against Andy Bloch's 9♣ 8♠ in the final hand, on a board of J♠ 7♣ 7♠ 4♥ 4♠. This event was notable for having the largest buy-in (at the time) in WSOP history, as well as the longest heads-up battle with Reese and Bloch playing for seven hours and 286 hands. By comparison, the final table of the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event lasted for a total of 232 hands.

Reese died on December 4, 2007, at his Las Vegas home. Some sources state that Reese died in his sleep from the effects of pneumonia, while friends of Chip, including Barry Greenstein and Doyle Brunson, speculate that his death might have been related to an earlier gastric bypass that caused a blood clot.

As a tribute, the 'David 'Chip' Reese Memorial Trophy' was inaugurated in 2008 as an additional prize for the winner of the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event at the World Series of Poker. The trophy depicts his winning hand of A♣ 7♣ 7♠ 4♥ 4♠. Starting in 2010, the trophy was awarded to the winner of The Poker Player's Championship, the replacement for the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event. Retaining the $50,000 buy-in, the event added no-limit hold 'em, pot-limit Omaha, and limit 2–7 triple draw to the five H.O.R.S.E. games, which culminated with a no-limit hold 'em final table in the first two years for tv (2010 and 2011), since which the mixed game format is played until the champion is crowned

Reese's house in Las Vegas was put up for sale on June 8, 2008 at a price of $5,699,500. He purchased the house with winnings from sports betting in baseball and from an investment in Jack Binion's Tunica casino.

So how'd he swing the lofty price tag for the home? Aside from being widely regarded as the best all-around poker player of all-time, Reese killed it on baseball betting before he died. Oddsmakers actually adjusted lines based on what Reese and Doyle Brunson bet. Additionally, Reese flipped a low five-figure investment in Jack Binion's Tunica casino into a low eight figure payout.
