Doyle Brunson, the American poker legend who helped popularize the card game globally, has died aged 89.
Known as ‘the Godfather of Poker,’ Brunson was a leading professional player for more than 50 years, wrote a number of books on the game and was a familiar face on programs such as High Stakes Poker and World Series of Poker. He was a Poker Hall of Fame inductee and a two-time World Series of Poker Main Event champion.
Perhaps aptly, he passed away in the home of poker, Las Vegas, on Sunday. He was known in poker circles by his nickname, ‘Texas Dolly.’
Brunson appeared in films such as Zak Penn improv comedy The Grand as a poker pro and was a consultant on Lucy You, a 2007 film from Curtis Hanson about a hotshot player with personal demons.

Nobody is more virile than a blind man in a bad movie. From Army Ranger Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade in “Scent of a Woman” to Virgil Adamson in “At First Sight,” these characters are cartoons of masculinity, using their dicks like antennae as they help guide the sighted people in their lives towards some kind of personal growth. While blind women are often rendered as pretty, pitiable things in desperate need of assistance (a trope that Charlie Chaplin inadvertently helped cement in “City Lights,” and that Lars von Trier very deliberately weaponized in “Dancer in the Dark”), their male counterparts are seen as horny, feral animals who compensate for their sightlessness with bat-like sonar and a bloodhound’s sense of smell.
And so we end up with movies like Michael Mailer’s divertingly banal “Blind,” in which Alec Baldwin plays a vision-impaired (but hyper-sexual) writer who can tell from halfway...

WPT Enterprises, the producer of the World Poker Tour TV show on the Travel Channel, said Monday it was willing to let a $700 million takeover offer expire Tuesday if it was still unable to get key information from a bidding group led by U.S. poker champion Doyle Brunson. "At this point, without any further information, we would let it expire," WPT CEO Steven Lipscomb told Reuters Monday. He said difficulty in obtaining details from the bidders on the proposals terms and structure cast doubt on the offer's credibility. The bid's term sheet said the offer expires on Tuesday at 5:30pm with a one-week extension provision that Lipscomb said he will not request.

NEW YORK -- Poker great Doyle Brunson seems to be making a different gamble these days as he and financial backers have reportedly offered $700 million to acquire WPT Enterprises, the company behind the World Poker Tour TV show on the Travel Channel, sending the firm's stock up nearly 50%. Talk of a Brunson bid Friday pushed up shares early in the day even before WPT confirmed an unsolicited offer in a brief statement, which didn't give Brunson's name and said the bid did not specify terms in detail. "The company is attempting to verify the credibility of the offer in order to evaluate it," WPT said in a statement.
