The poker community lost a respected member this past week as poker pro Amir Vahedi passed away. On January 8th, Vahedi reportedly died due to diabetes complications. Vahedi was apart of the final table that initially started the poker boom that we see today. Though Chris Moneymaker went on to win the event people remember Vahedi for his out going personality. Vahedi will always be remembered. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family.
