Unfortunately, Doyle Brunson, known to many as the Godfather of Poker, passed away last night at 89 years old. Brunson played poker for more than five decades and was highly influential in creating the history of poker.
The 10-time WSOP champion also nicknamed "Texas Dolly" was a legend before poker legends were born and transcended through poker, as many outside the game also know of him. His impact will be felt for decades to come.
The Festival Series founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk asked for a minute of silence in a beautiful tribute to Brunson.
Rest in peace Doyle Brunson and we wish his family the best of support.
