Texas Dolly back in the WSOP action<\/span><\/h2>\n

In his return to WSOP, a few events stand out for the Poker Hall of Famer<\/strong>. That includes the event that was expected to be his final WSOP tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brunson made the final table of the <\/span>$10,000 Deuce to Seven<\/strong> No Limit Single Draw in 2018. That led to a final table appearance and sixth-place finish for $43,963<\/strong>. He\u2019s now looking for a return appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pandemic\u2019s effect on live poker apparently played a role in Brunson heading back to the WSOP as well. His wife had also had some health problems in recent years and Brunson didn\u2019t like leaving at night. The situation appears to have changed now.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cI am not getting along with not playing poker, so if everything goes okay with my wife I’ll play in a select few tournaments,\u201d he told USPoker<\/em><\/a> on Monday. \u201cI’ll play the Deuce to Seven<\/strong> event and some Razz<\/strong> tournaments. I probably will play the (Hall of Fame) freeroll<\/strong><\/a>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This year\u2019s $10,000 <\/span>No Limit 2-7 Championship is set for Oct. 25<\/strong>. The freeroll refers to the $1,979 Poker Hall of Fame Bounty<\/strong>. This new tournament is scheduled for Nov. 17 and honors the Poker Hall of Fame, which was founded in 1979.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tournament features a freeroll for all members of the hall. Each player has a bounty on their head equal to the year they were inducted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brunson was inducted in 1988<\/strong>, meaning almost an extra $2,000 for eliminating the Texan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I'm planning on playing a few select tournaments in the WSOP this year. https:\/\/t.co\/9um2zalbIR<\/a><\/p>\n

— Doyle Brunson (@TexDolly) June 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A look at the career of Doyle Brunson\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The poker legend\u2019s return is certainly good for the game. The Godfather of Poker<\/strong> will be 88<\/strong> by the time the WSOP kicks off in September.
\nAge hasn\u2019t slowed down his poker playing. Brunson still plays in some of the biggest cash games around.<\/span><\/p>\n

The former Texas road gambler offers a link to poker\u2019s past, a time when players like Brunson, Amarillo Slim Preston<\/strong>, and others traveled through the south looking for underground games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Born in Longworth, Texas<\/a>, Brunson won the $10,000 WSOP Main Event<\/strong> in 1976 and \u201877. Both times his final hand was the 10-2<\/strong>, which has since become synonymous with \u201cTexas Dolly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1979, Brunson released his book <\/span>Super System: A Course in Power Poker<\/strong><\/em>. The book set a course for modern poker\u2019s more aggressive approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among all his accomplishments, Brunson also holds a World Poker Tour<\/strong><\/a> record. In 2004<\/strong>, Brunson became the oldest man to win a WPT event. he took down the Legends of Poker at age 71<\/strong>, a record that still stands today.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was my most satisfying win in a long time, probably since my World Series Main Event victories several decades earlier,\u201d Brunson wrote in his autobiography, The Godfather of Poker<\/em>. \u201cIt was even more important to me than the $1.2 million<\/strong> first prize, though I didn\u2019t mind that at all, because I replenished my bankroll and shored up my formerly sagging confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIf I hadn\u2019t done well in that tournament, I might have quit right then and there. But at this crossroads in my life, whatever doubts I had disappeared like the whirling dust devils that blew through my old west Texas prairie.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Still loves playing poker<\/span><\/h2>\n

Seeing Brunson back at the tables provides a reminder of poker\u2019s unique history beyond modern casinos<\/a>. The Stetson <\/strong>cowboy hat-wearing Texan brings some real uniqueness to the tables as well as plenty of poker skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

A final table appearance would make for huge news and some great televised poker.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even after decades at the tables, Brunson still just loves to play. That may also explain his return to the WSOP this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

When asked a few years ago to name one of the simple things in life that he enjoys, Brunson had this response: <\/span>\u201cPoker, poker, and poker.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
