He lived to be 89................The godfather of poker Doyle Brunson has passed away. What a class act.
RIP Doyle.

That’s a name I have not heard mentioned in a long time.
RIP Sir
Looks like his luck finally ran out.
I believe just the opposite
Indeed, he left us down here to deal with Ole Joe and Kamala.......🙄

RIP
Met him in Vegas many years ago on one of my poker jaunts , he was a gentleman all the way from what little time we talked.
He was one heck of athlete back when he was a young man
A lot of great poker players are good pool shooters to. And some are great golfers too.
Reminds me of Lefty Bennett that was a great pool and golf player including poker and craps that hung out at Comers pool hall in Knoxville, TN back in the good old days.
He won $80,000 playing golf in Vegas one weekend and lost nearly all of it playing poker and shooting craps at the Smokey Mountain Club in Knoxville one night a week later.
Feast or famine. I couldn't live like that.
Doyle was a scratch golfer from what I hear.
Injury kept him from an NBA career
Never heard of him.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
You have now.
He won the World Series of Poker 10 times and wrote a number of books.
& from all accounts was a generally good guy.
