Title: Kirit Patel: R.I.P Post by: TightEnd on July 25, 2014, 05:07:01 PM Kirit Patel was a stalwart of the UK Poker scene, and sadly passed away this morning after a short illness
He did not post on blonde, but was featured in a number of live updates over the years, which is where i got to know him (http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7328/12842026965_c1b88b66ef_z.jpg) Kirit was extremely popular, not only in London and the South East where he began in poker and played regularly but with everyone who met him around the UK circuit Unfailingly polite, tremendous company and a very good player. The outpouring of emotion with his passing from his many friends is testament to this R.I.P sir (https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t1.0-9/10559668_10204336765360565_3931769533174515794_n.jpg) Title: Re: Kirit Patel: R.I.P Post by: arbboy on July 25, 2014, 05:12:08 PM just saw this on the gps update. Didn't know him personally but on my odd visits to the SEast he was usually present and a lovely guy to chat to at the tables.
RIP Title: Re: Kirit Patel: R.I.P Post by: tikay on July 25, 2014, 05:19:21 PM Well that's a terrible shock, & awful news. As noted, a proper gentleman, unfailingly polite & well-mannered, & a pleasure to chat to, or share tables with. RIP Kirit.

Title: Re: Kirit Patel: R.I.P Post by: Marky147 on July 25, 2014, 05:24:40 PM Only shared a table with him a few times, but he came across as a very friendly, and funny guy, who obviously loved the game.
Can tell from the tributes all over Facebook just how popular he was. RIP. Title: Re: Kirit Patel: R.I.P Post by: Kev B on July 25, 2014, 05:56:52 PM Like most on here didn't know him that well but a very good player with a lovely friendly table presence. So sad. RIP Kirit.

I spent some time with him and Sinem in Ireland a couple of years ago Sin was very good friends with Kirit , as I understand she was with him when he passed away so thoughts and prayers go out to everybody affected.
