OT: Doyle Brunson Passes Away

The poker players on the forum know who he is. The Godfather of Poker and WSOP HOF passed away last night. RIP Texas Dolly.

He also told some amazing stories about his life before coming to Las Vegas. The life of a traveling Texas gambler was wild.

I always enjoyed watching him on the WSOP. He was a character and didn't look healthy even four or five years ago. I'm surprised he lasted this long. RIP Doyle.

I met him about 15 years ago during the wsop while I was walking around the Rio. He was in his scooter but was very pleasant and polite to speak with. Sorry i did not think to snap a photo at the time.
