While many notable names have graced the poker felts of WSOP, there is one name that will always be associated with this prestigious series—Doyle F. Brunson. This American poker player has over 50 years of poker experience during which he took down two WSOP Main Event titles, a feat only a handful have managed to achieve.

With 10 WSOP bracelets under his belt, it’s not hard to see why he has earned himself the title ‘Godfather of Poker.’ Brunson’s exploits in the poker industry are known across boundaries and he continues to inspire generations of poker players till date. Though the game has gone through a lot of changes over the years, Brunson remains dedicated to it even at 88 years of age.

Apart from his list of WSOP victories, the poker legend also won the $5,000 Chinese Poker – World Championship in December 1994, the $5,000 + 150 No Limit Hold’em Championship Final Day – World Poker Tour (WPT) in August 2004, and the $20,000 Week 4 – World Series Legends title in season II of the hit poker show Poker After Dark in June 2007.

Brunson was always fond of poker and was already familiar with poker variants like five-card draw and seven-card stud way before he became a professional poker player. Once he became a pro, Brunson was unstoppable, playing poker anywhere he could. Eventually he settled in Las Vegas and was a regular player on WSOP when it first started in 1970. After making it to a few WSOP final tables, he grabbed his first gold bracelet in 1976 when he won the $5,000 Deuce to Seven Draw for $80,250.
