Doyle Brunson doubles with a Granny
12:43 PM
Brunson moves all in for $139,000, on a board of 5-7-8 with two spades. Doyle has Qs 5s, opponent has top pair. The turn is a 5, the river is a Q, giving Brunson a full house. Brunson doubles up, crowd applauds.

Re: Doyle Brunson doubles with a Granny
If Doyle won this thing this year don't you think it would be just as huge for poker, if not more than moneymaker's win last year... not to mention it would seal the deal on selling "the system" to anyone who didnt already have it.

Re: Doyle Brunson doubles with a Granny
I imagine if you asked the random English person 'Who is Chris Moneymaker' that under 1% of people would have heard of him.
Ask 'Who is Doyle Brunson' and you're talking 3-5%. A win for a name player reinforces that the game is skill and not luck and generates interest in gamblers because they all think they can beat any game of skill. Lori
