What! sorry to hear this

[JBC77]

Thats a shocker. Guy didn't look that old. Mid 50's maybe.

[SBR Lou]

Wow that is a shock. He had the best tilt control of anybody playing cards, often considered by his peers to be the best all around player in the world.

[Scratch]

He was only 56. Didn't realize he was born up here in Dayton OH. Thought Ron Rose was the only well-known pro from Dayton.

Unbelievable.

He was a great poker player, still in his prime and never seemed to tilt.

He will be missed.

[jolub]

He got the biggest bad beat of them all.

[Cabo]

wow, so sorry to hear of this loss.

Chip has been sick for awhile. His body finally gave up for the last time.

[rugbybdyb]

I love poker and will never be considered a pro but I always wanted to play like him...

[Illusion]

One of the best cash players in history. Very, very sad news.

[Maledetto]

THE pro among pros.

may he rest in peace

[BigBollocks]

I think we can all say were hoping for a quick recovery

[HAPPY BOY]

man that sucks. loved chip, RIP

Yeah this is sad. Do any of you guys know what "The Computer Group" is/was? I guess it was a really profitable sportsbetting syndicate, Chip was in it according to his Wikipedia page. I read that yesterday and was wondering.

Besides Chip, Doyle was also an investor in the Computer Group.
