The death of musician, recording engineer and poker player Steve Albini hit the music world with a force like that of the incendiary device aimed at Earth pictured on Big Black’s 1986 debut album Atomizer. It may have hit one group of Chicago poker players the hardest.

Albini, a two-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner who recorded landmark works by bands like Nirvana and Pixies and who The New York Timesdescribed as “one of the most admired, and most divisive, figures in rock,” was a key figure in a friend group that bonded, joked and supported one another over the poker table. For 20 years, they played in a weekly low-stakes Chicago home game often held in Electrical Audio, the two-story recording studio where Albini recorded thousands of alternative, post-punk and industrial albums. Now, the game is on hiatus after Albini’s death in May as the group of poker pros, musicians and audio engineers adapts to a world without its figurehead.
