Doyle Brunson Loses A Bet

Even if you know or care nothing about professional poker, it is
hard to imagine you’ve never come across the name Doyle Brunson.
Poker’s elder statesmen was there when Texas Hold ‘Em came into
being, was there when the concept of the poker tournament was
invented and was there when they added hole-card cameras to poker
tables to make it interesting for TV viewers to follow the action.
Now, at 76, he’s published a surprisingly frank autobiography
appropriately titled “The Godfather of Poker” in which he reveals
the violent early days of his gambling life, his strained
relationship with his father and much more. When Steve spoke to
two-time World Series of Poker Main Event champ this week, he
opened up some more about the Binion family, mob enforcer Tony
Spilotro, Annie Duke, Joan Rivers and Phil Hellmuth, among others.
Plus, Steve did the seemingly impossible – he won a bet off
Doyle.
