Winner of a record 10 WSOP bracelets and considered by many to be the patriarch of poker as it is played today, Doyle Brunson is certainly one of, if not the greatest poker players ever! Doyle, aka "Texas Dolly", originally started out as an all-star high-school basketball player. In college, he was to begin playing for the Minneapolis Lakers, but a severe leg injury in a factory accident ended his hopes of a professional career. He went on to earn a master's degree in Administrative Education with plans of teaching and coaching and started to play poker to cover the medical billsfrom the accident - the rest is history.

Doyle Brunson has played a key role in popularizing Texas Holdem. His book "Super System" is one of the all-time top selling poker books and a must-read for any serious student of the game.

You can meet and play against Doyle Brunson and other poker pros including Todd Brunson (his son), "Mad Genius" Mike Caro, Tournament winners Minh Ly, Dewey Tomko or Eli Elezera or celebrities like Nickie Hilton and Kevin Connolly at DoylesRoom.com.
