Playing For Bambi
On August 4th, 2014, Bambi Trotter and her 21 month old son were involved in a head on collision that left Bambi in grave condition. She suffered a traumatic brain injury, broken pelvis and leg, and a shattered foot. Miraculously, her son walked away with minor injuries and was released from the hospital on the same day. Bambi is a kindergarten teacher and her husband, Richi, is a high school football coach in Texas. Richi's twin brother, Reggi, is an avid poker player who has a WSOP Circuit ring to his credit. Earlier today, Reggi sent out the following tweet:

"She's passed the critical point," Reggi told us on break. "Now it's a matter of what she'll be able to regain. Unfortunately, since the accident happened before the school year she wasn't able to use benefits and so I'm trying to do what I can to help her."
Hopefully, Reggi is able to make a deep run to contribute to Bambi's cause but regardless of Reggi's finish, we at PokerNews wish Bambi a full and speedy recovery.
