Doyle: Det gør ondt at tale om Chip

Den gamle pokerlegende elsker hunde, og derfor var det ikke svært for Jennifer Harman at få Doyle med til et velgørenhedsarrangement for hjemløse hunde i Las Vegas.

Og da Doyle gik rundt mellem disse hunde, fik han sig en noget speciel oplevelse:

- One brown terrier came bounding over to me, pawing at his cage, licking my hand and trying to get to me. I petted him for a while and noticed that all the dogs have their name on their cage. As I started to leave, I looked at the name and he was named Chip. I almost lost it when I read that.

Og der er ikke nogen tvivl om at Doyle savner sin gamle ven og kollega, der desværre afgik ved døden kort før jul sidste år. I forbindelse med et arrangement der skal afholdes på Bellagio, hvor der skal uddeles armbånd til tidligere WPT vindere, vil der også være en hyldest til Chip Reese, hvor det forventes at Doyle siger et par ord, hvilket udløser følgende reaktion:

- Also, I understand they are going to have a tribute to Chip Reese during the party. That fine, Chip certainly deserves everything the poker world can give his memory. The only problem is they expect me to speak again and it just starts the hurt again for me. I guess I’ll suck it up and tell again what a special person Chip was.
