    unfortunately i have never heard of any coming out of hospice care.

    he had a hell of a life though. from what i've seen from other's, he made a positive impact on many people in the poker community. i hope he's not suffering too much.

    Apparently he's 72. I also thought younger, he's looked pretty good for his age

    dAMN, that's a bummer. Saw him at WSOP. Was wearing his NJDevils jersey.

    Thx, Pablo.

    Absolute great guy, ambassador and smoothest voice in the game. Miss those WPT tourneys.

    Never judged moves or plays, matter of fact guy with a little added flair in the big moments.

    I'd say I"m praying, but that's as useful as flicking bottle caps into the ceiling.

    I hope his body, and science converge for a very low statistical chance of recovery, but I think with hospice it's pretty much a "shipped" pot.

    Cheers Mike!

    Yeah. Hospice keeps you as comfortable as possible, then gives you a little too much morphine and you pass peacefully. It doesn't seem like a bad way to check out.

    At least he's made it to the Final table and has a FULL HOUSE. Very sad for the Poker world and family.

    It's worthless but to each their own. I guess "Hope". Hospice is pretty damning though
