Poker pro Faraz Jaka took to Twitter upon hearing the news and tweeted, “So insane. I remember sharing a room three ways with him & another at PCA Bahamas over 12 years ago when we were all coming up just trying to save some loot. He was ‘SoggyDog/SoggyVag’ online, he was a good dude back then. Hadn’t talked to him in over a decade, it was crazy to hear this.”

In Minnesota, third-degree murder charges include upto 25 years in prison and a fine of $40,000. Third-degree murder occurs when someone is killed without premeditation or intent. AS per the court documents, the deceased Marconcini has addiction issues with illegal narcotics. He was found unresponsive in a bathroom by his girlfriend who immediately dialled 911.
