A beloved Costa Rican bookmaker has passed away over the weekend of an apparent heart attack.
Fernando, formerly of Hollywood Sportsbook and most recently the head bookmaker for BetPhoenix, suffered a heart attack while playing in a poker tournament.
Fernando was of Argentine decent and will be missed by many.
"He was one of the best," a colleague said. "A real stand up guy. Everyone liked Fernando."
For a number of years, Fernando was a successful bookmaker for Hollywood Sportsbook, prior to its sale two years ago.
The funeral was taking place today (June 16).
