Oh damn, RIP Mike

Yes very sad terrific pioneer and ambassador of the game

Became a father later in life too, his boy is only 11 or 12 or something, feel for the lad losing a parent at an early age.

Damn, as someone that only really got into Poker at all in last decade and a bit, he is like what a Lou Richards was as footy commentator to me as a kid. Was only thing you knew and going to be hard to imagine following a tv covered poker event without hearing his voice again.
He made the sport turn into a tv friendly thing and for that am very thankful.
