The Editor-in-chief of Gutshot Magazine, Peter Abraham penned his thoughts saying, “Rohan’s association with Gutshot goes back a long way and we’re still in a bit of a shock as to what happened. From being a part of our Live reporting team to most recently contributing several articles and pieces for the website, Rohan was an ardent fan of the game. Poker writers in this country are a tiny breed. His writing skills and knowledge of the domestic poker circuit made him one of the few very good writers in this gaming space. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones in this difficult time.”
