MrLJH 0 Posted December 5, 2007 Class act and great father/family man. When he won his 3rd bracelet several of top poker stars were interviewed for a brief bio on Chip and said he was one of most feared players in the big Vegas cash games. He never enjoyed the rigors of the tournament poker trail and rarely entered the big tourneys as a commitment to that belief. Although he never gained the celebrity and financial rewards that come with made for TV poker fad he was respected by his peers for the quality of his play and his stature as a true poker gentleman.
