Like many poker legends, David “Chip” Reese showed signs of a poker prodigy early in life. Beating kids twice his age at poker in his youth, Reese would continue to show his natural ability all the way through college, where he regularly beat his fraternity brothers at Dartmouth.

After graduating, Reese had considered attending Stanford’s Business School, but after winning $60,000 during his first trip to Las Vegas, he never left.

Often regarded as the greatest Seven Card Stud player to ever live, Reese contributed his knowledge to Doyle Brunson’s Super/System, considered by many to be the greatest poker strategy book ever produced.

While primarily known as one of the greatest players to ever sit at a cash game table, Reese’s three WSOP bracelet victories further add to his timeless legacy.

Reese won his third bracelet in the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E event at the 2006 WSOP. Following his passing in 2007, the trophy for the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event was renamed the Poker Players Championship in his honor.

To this day, Reese is the only poker player to have a trophy named after them at the WSOP.

If you've ever watched the World Series of Poker and thought that could be me, you're not alone. Since 1970, the WSOP has been the place where that dream lives. Most people know the summer series in Las Vegas, where the $10,000 Main Event turns ordinary players into legends. But the WSOP calendar has grown well beyond that. WSOP Europe and WSOP Paradise now bring bracelet competition to international destinations, and dozens of Circuit events run year-round for players who want serious competition closer to home. Whether you're grinding a Circuit stop or taking your shot at the Main Event, the hardware means something. Winning a gold bracelet or Circuit ring is more than just a trophy. It's a permanent record that you are a champion. For players in Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, WSOP Online has become something worth paying attention to. It's the only platform in the US where you can win a poker tournament for official WSOP gold bracelets without leaving home! The WSOP also offers deposit limits and self-exclusion tools because the best poker rooms have always known that keeping poker players healthy keeps the game healthy. From your first Circuit event to a final table in Las Vegas, WSOP is still where you go to prove something.
