I was a long time fan of his and remember him well from my Vegas days. One of the toughest at the table.

We won't see the likes of him again.

Thanks for the memories Doyle.

When talent and class meet, people like Doyle Brunson get created. Larger than life. Pity there aren’t a lot more of them…

When his book Super System came out, it caused quite a stir jn the Poker Community. Widely acclaimed as a classic. Probably better books out there now, but it was ahead of its time.
