From writing the single best poker book for anyone leaning the game - Super System - to winning back-to-back World Series of Poker with 10/2, the legend of the Texas Dolly will live on forever.

I woke up this morning to the sad news that Doyle Brunson passed away. Published in 1978, the 600-plus page “Super System” was groundbreaking in that it was one of the first books written by a poker professional in which readers could get an in-depth look into the game of Poker. Indeed, Brunson’s two books - “Super System” and it’s follow up ‘Super System 2′ are still considered to be some of the most influential books ever written about the game. Perhaps one of the things that truly immortalized Brunson, was not just his play at the table, but rather what he had to say about it. Of course today’s WSOP sees an average of almost 9,000 entrants competing for more than $80 million in prize money, with the first-place player taking home $10 million. His first win in 1976 saw him take home $220,000 from a winner take-all field of 22 players. Inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame inductee in 1988, Brunson won an incredible 10 World Series of Poker Tournaments - including back-to-back wins in the $10,000 no limit hold ‘em main events in 19. May he rest in peace.” Looking back at Doyle Brunson’s career Please keep Doyle and our family in your prayers. We’ll have more to say over the coming days as we honor his legacy.

“He was a beloved Christian man, husband, father and grandfather. “It is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of our father, Doyle Brunson,” the statement read. RIP To The Legend Doyle Brunson /Yd7frLyYMO- Barstool Sports May 15, 2023
