💔 Today, we lost a big piece of our poker family.
It’s so incredibly sad to say goodbye to Sammy AlThayedi. He was more than just someone sitting across the poker table—he was part of a family that has been built through friendships, laughter, and countless memories.
Today is a reminder that life is precious and tomorrow is never guaranteed. Please don’t take today for granted. Check on your people. Hug your loved ones. Tell someone you appreciate them. And above all, please be kind to one another. You never know what someone may be carrying or how much a little kindness can mean.
Sammy, you will be missed more than words can say. ❤️
Please keep Sammy, his family, and everyone who loved him in your thoughts tonight. 🕊️
Please also keep Sammy’s best friend, Brian Teer, in your thoughts as he tries to process and deal with this heartbreaking loss. ❤️
Rest easy, Sammy. You’ll always be a part of our poker family. ♠️❤️
