WCP reporting that Brandi Hawbaker is dead

[Fonzi]

Wicked Chops Poker is reporting that poker starlet Brandi Hawbaker reportedly took her own life last Sunday. She was only 26 years old.

The story began with a post on WCP by Bob B Bobson in which he said:

"You may want to know that Brandi Hawbaker (of semi-recent poker drama) died earlier this week. She was 26 years old.

I do not know any more than that, including how she died or any circumstances of her death, or even if there is a funeral planned. Even if I did know, it's nobody's business but her family and friends."


Never Win Poker received a statement from Brandi's boyfriend confirming her death and will post it after the family has time to grieve.


For those of you who have no clue who Brandi Hawbaker is, head over to the 2+2 forums, her thread is by far the biggest and will take a week to read.


We here at Holdem Poker Chat offer our condolences to Brandi's family and friends. RIP

Very sad end, I saw her profile at site and they did not announce her decease yet and I also saw that she cashed at an event of the WSOP and that she was one of the Top 10 best dressed pros at the WSOP.

Very sad indeed and so much to live for.
