There were some great poker player that came out of the Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus area. I used to play against Chip Reese and Danny Robinson. I remember when Chip and Danny lost $10,000 in a game and left Dayton pretty much broke. I will never forget asking a friend of mine who was in the game that they lost the money in, "If they can't win in Dayton how are they ever going to win in Vegas?" The rest is history. Mike Sexton one of the host on the Travel channel Poker Series was from Dayton also.

All three of these guys should make the Poker Hall of Fame.
