Brandi Hawbaker Confirmed Dead @ 26
Apr 17th, 2008 Poker Gossips and Rumours submitted by Micon

It is with great sadness that I write this story. Brandi Hawbaker to some, Naami Dea to others, took her own life on Sunday. This news has been confirmed through Brandon and Brandi's family. Brandon, Brandi's family, and friends have asked the poker world to respect their privacy while they grieve. When the time is right we will have Brandon's statement on NWP. This truly is a tragedy, as the whole poker world loved to watch this eccentric young lady on and off the felt. Brandi will be missed and I hope she has found some peace.

I agree with Bill. It is a shame how some people treat their loved ones as if they are trash then call on them later and expect them to forgive and forget. He should really check with the state of California about his mother. They sent me a letter about her condition. This seems the only to contact you.

Families making peace is more important than people realize.
Blood is always thicker than water, yet money and familiy politics ALWAYS interfere.
I can only hope that people realize this as Brandi did BEFORE others regret not reaching out to all they have.

Very sad. I wish her emptiness could have been fulfilled on Earth. In retrospect someone who seemed to be shallow
may have sparked some sort of Koan of thought. In the end her existence seems to have a really deep meaning as if the Sklansky/Tom scandals were a parody of Vegas played out by god.

I'm still in shock about this news. I couldn't believe it when Todd Brunson asked if I had heard yesterday, what with all the crazy NWP shinanigans. A serious reminder of how precious life is, not to be waisted on pettiness but spent love and kindess.

Very sad story. I feel for her family and friends. No matter what you thought about her, shouldn't talk ill of the deceased.

RIP Brandi

I run NWP. That means that when Brandi does something crazy we report on it - it is who we are. She did some bad stuff, we all watched. She did some crazy stuff, we all watched. She died, we all watch.... She is our Marylin Monroe. It is such a tragedy that she actually killed herself. I always kinda rooted for her... I thought a site would take a shot at her for a sponsorship or something. Also Brandon is a good friend of mine and he loved her very much.... it is very hard on him right now. So yah, I'm pretty sad about this.

I doubt he'd joke about this

Micon, just curios why do you write this with great sadness. You ran that crazy chick through the coals with all the you tube videos, ebay auctions, and forum schenanigans. Seems a bit hypocritical. No? Ah well, RIP.

I call schenanigans on the story. I bet she wanted to get out of the "spotlight" and is holed up in Europe somewhere. Didn't she travel the world? Yah, I call BS. The Great Sadness gives it away.
