Rich Korbin, a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner who began working for PokerStars during the poker site's early days, passed away Saturday of a heart attack at age 73, news that devastated many within the poker community.
The poker enthusiast grew up in Ardsley, New York where he attended Ardsley High School, a public school in the New York City metropolitan area. He'd go on to live in the Denver, Colorado area, Vancouver, Canada, and Las Vegas, his most recent residency.
Korbin's wife, Kaye, will hold a service for friends and family in Colorado on Tuesday, his former co-worker and friend Jeanne Davis told PokerNews.
