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

Looks like his luck finally ran out.
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.
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.
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.
