Byron Liggett passed away last Monday at his home in Reno. Byron was best noted for his incredible store of gambling history knowledge which he readily shared with the world. He was a perpetual writing machine having been published in many magazines, books and newspapers over the years. He was a popular writer for Poker Player Newspaper where he shared his love of the game in his regular column, North By Northwest.
A long time resident of Reno, Nevada, Byron was usually found on the road covering major poker events, most recently for the Heartland Poker Tour. All of us at LasVegasVegas.com will surely miss his big smile, quick wit, great stories and friendship.
