One of the most well known poker players on the face of the earth, Doyle Brunson AKA Texas Dolly took the time to speak with me at PokerShark.com for a one on one interview. Little did I know that he would open my eyes to a whole other world of poker that has since been replaced by the major tournaments and virtual tables on the internet.

Today is Pearl Harbor Day. I remember it well when as an 8-year-old farmboy, my parents called me in to listen to the news on our old radio. War is such a terrible thing, we sometimes forget how costly it is in money and lives. I remember reading how we lost more American lives in Gettysburg than we lost in the entire Vietnam War. The Civil War was really dumb.

There will be a very special freeroll tournament going on at Doylesroom.com to celebrate the astonishing amount of followers Doyle has received. The freeroll is being held to celebrate his massive amount of twitter followers that have given him the achievement of reaching over 100,000 followers. This opportunity gives the special followers of Doyle Brunson’s Twitter page a chance to meet the legend face to face in Las Vegas, Nevada.

There's nothing more synonymous with the World Series of Poker than Doyle Brunson. Having played in dozens of WSOP events since its inception, the poker legend has confirmed that he will be continuing his record by entering the 3rd annual WSOPE in the UK this September.

"I never miss a World Series of Poker and I'm certainly not going to miss the next big one in Europe," said Doyle Brunson. "I'm really looking forward to heading over there again this fall and taking a bracelet back to America."

Although the 2009 World Series of Poker is still underway, some big names have left the competition.

On Saturday Chris Moneymaker and Doyle Brunson left the competition. Brunson stated, “WSOP 2009 is over for me. It’s disappointing, but also a sense of relief. Now back to the real world.”

As the World Series of Poker Main Event Gets Underway The Poker Show Talks to Triple Bracelet Winner Jeff Lisandro and Checks in on the Progress of its Friends at the Biggest Poker Game on Earth

This week The Poker Show goes World Series crazy as the main event gets underway. Jeff Lisandro will be dropping in to talk about what is arguably the feat of the Series - his triple-bracelet victory, while presenters Jesse May and Matt Broughton will check in with Neil Channing, Andy Ward, and Marty Smyth as well as many others playing the main event.

Although predictions are already pouring in when it comes to WSOP Player of the Year, it’s unsure if those players will transform their success into a main event win.

For instance, the 2009 WSOP odds to make the final table (played on November 7) don’t list Jeff Lisandro or Ville Wahlbeck, even though both men top the leaderboard this week.

Despite his recent bad luck and other poker pros trying desperately to break his record, Phil Hellmuth still holds on to the record for most bracelets won at the World Series of Poker.

Poker pro Johnny “The Orient Express” Chan tried winning his 11th career WSOP championship gold bracelet this year, tying Phil “Poker Brat” Hellmuth Jr., but he fell short. Chan, instead, remains at second place, with Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brusnon with 10 right behind him.

According to Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu is sure to be named the 2009 WSOP Poker Player of the Year.

"Every time I look, Daniel is deep in a tournament," Doyle commented.  "Looks like he will be Player of the Year at the WSOP...Congrats (Daniel)…Good job!!"

Brunson holds seat at final table of tournament of champions in strong 4th place position with over 20,000 in chips.

San Jose, Costa Rica – June 1, 2009 – Doyle Brunson is once again proving how much of a living legend he truly is. The poker pro is making his mark in an invitation-only championship tournament at this year’s WSOP, heading into the final day with an impressive chip stack.
