I was watching the WPT before the WSOP, I had never heard of Chris Moneymaker's win (i thought his name was made-up) until like 2004. I was crushing the online poker boom while still living at home, and watching WPT episodes at night. Good times.

I stepped away from watching poker a few years ago due to life, but I remember watching Mike and Vince every week on the WPT, and wishing I could be a part of it (money was too tight to think about hitting a poker table). Fast forward to today and I am now retired and eyeing hitting the tables to see how it all goes, and one of the first things I did was begin watch Mike & Vince on the WPT reruns only to then learn he had passed away while I was gone from watching. Truly sad to lose him to cancer, and equally sad to think that if I ever am lucky enough to make it to a WPT event that I will never have the chance to meet him, but I have his books and the videos, and all I can say is thanks Mike, may you rest in peace!

Like so many millions of folks, the wife and i was introduced to tournament poker by Mike and Vince many years ago. We always enjoyed their insights and thoughts 9f the game. Was lucky enough to meet and talk with both of them when the WPT came to the Cincinnati area for the first time at the Hollywood Casino. Mike and Vince where both out going, easy to talk with, and made you feel at ease with them. Poker has lost one the best ambassadors the game has ever had. Thoughts, prayers and support to all his family and friends. You will truly be missed.
