Jeff Ifrah Tweets that DiamondFlush has passed away - Page 7 - Poker News

I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing DiamondFlush in Atlantic City during the production of BRF. It was our last "official production day" and the crew and I shared a meal with her and NoahSD afterwards which acted as a sort of "wrap party". It went on for hours - great food, lots of drinks, and good conversation. A nice memory. She was a great person to have at a dinner table - full of good spirits, laughter and candid opinions about seemingly everything. She generously donated her time, always answering any questions - no matter how random - I had about the FullTilt Scandal promptly and thoroughly. Subject: Poker basically was poker media at a time when the industry needed it the most, and (I don't think Noah would disagree) DiamondFlush was its most dedicated and enthusiastic reporter. She will be missed.

RIP.

These tributes to DF have been moving and obviously heartfelt, but if you truly want to do something to fight cancer, consider joining FAH (Folding at Home) - the world's largest distributed computing project.

Thanks to Alan Lawhon for posting this. I was aware of some distributed computing projects, but not one that could truly help the battle against cancer. [1] I'm going to fire up my home Macbook Pro this weekend and put it to work.

I definitely agree. Her commitment to S:P (and later DFP) was amazing.

I dunno DF but they mentioned her on the PCA stream and it seemed like everyone had great things to say about her.

Damn! Just seeing this.

The world is a better place for your presence and your contribution to it.

Thank you for all you have done for the poker community.

You will not be forgotten.

May you rest in peace, Diamond Flush.

Funny that this thread was bumped. I reading about some poker-related controversy yesterday and the first thing that came to mind was, "I wonder what Diamond Flush will say about this... oh, damn."
