Doyle Brunson and Wife Louise the Best Pair in Poker According to Wall Street Journal Article
The face of DoylesRoom.com talks marriage with Wall Street Journal just before Valentine’s Day
Las Vegas, Nevada – February 10, 2010 – Flip through any poker print publication and you’re likely to come across a piece on Doyle Brunson. Having played the game for over 50 years, Doyle Brunson is without a doubt poker’s biggest living legend and the player who commands the most respect. However, it’s not just poker publications that value his iconic stature.
This week, with his wife Louise by his side, Doyle Brunson was featured in the Wall Street Journal’s Life & Style section in a piece on happily married couples. Ozzie & Sharon Osbourne and Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter were also interviewed for the article.
Brunson’s advice for a long and happy marriage? Keep some things secret. Doyle has won and lost millions over the course of his 50-plus-year career. Not filling his wife in on all of his wins and losses is part of the key to their 47-year marriage, a partnership that has had its fair share of ups and downs, including the loss of a child and being robbed at gunpoint.
In his new book, The Godfather of Poker, Brunson chronicles his lifetime of legendary gambling and life experiences, covering everything from tragedies like the freak injury that ruined his chance to play in the NBA, to major highlights like his 10th WSOP bracelet win, to unbelievable endeavors like trying to literally raise the Titanic.
The book is available at Barnes & Noble and other major book retailers across the country. Online poker players at DoylesRoom.com can also use their Gold Chips to purchase the book at DoylesRoomStore.com.

Las Vegas, Nevada - Jan 5th, 2010
Chris Moorman of The Brunson 10 takes title in PocketFives.com's Online Poker Tournament Player Rankings

Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic Final Table
Las Vegas, Nevada - Dec 24th, 2009
Not surprisingly one of the toughest tournament of the year turned out a final table laden with top pros. While tournament namesake Doyle Brunson and his team of emerging online pros didn't have a representative at the final table the cast of the final 6 was still filled with top notch players covering a wide array of styles and backgrounds.
The tournament ended up going to the young but seemingly much older than his years Danny Alaei. Danny is in his mid-twenties but his demeanor and confidence give the feel of someone much older and more mature. He has the feel of a battle hardened veteran at the tables even at a relatively young age. Alaei was able to sang the $1.4 million top prize after he defeated the other veteran at the final table, Josh Arieh.
Arieh came into the final table as one of the short stacks but a single double up and some impressive play took him from the bottom of the pile to a dominating chip leader. Arieh was all in for and well covered by Scotty Nguyen but the pocket sevens of Arieh held up against the AJ suited for Nguyen to give Josh a double up that started him on a run that left the other players stunned. From as low as 1 million chips Arieh quickly and steadily built a stack of over 10 million and continued to chip up to over 13 million, which he took into heads up play against Alaei.
Danny started heads up play with around 7 million and Arieh had a coinflip for the title when the two were all in with Josh's AK against the pocket queens of Alaei. The pair held and after that the stacks were more balanced and Alaei was able to battle on to the victory, leaving Arieh in the runner up spot but with a still very hefty payout of over $950,000.
The young gun at the table was Faraz Jaka, known as "The-Toilet" online which came from his propensity to play any two suited cards when he first started playing, leading him to make his fair share of flushes. Jaka came in as the chip leader and held steady through much of the final table play but was ultimately eliminated by Alaei in 3rd for $571,374. Back in July Jaka had a runner up finish at the Bellagio Cup World Poker Tour main event for $775,000.
Shawn Buchanan (4th for $333,202), Scotty Nguyen (5th for $249,976) and Steve O'Dwyer(6th for $202,362) rounded out the final table finishes with Joe Cassidy coming up just short of making the TV table with a 7th place finish.
Brunson 10 member Amit "Amak316" Makhija finished in the money with a 26th place finish for $28,569.
The tournament circuit comes to a halt around the holidays but kicks back off in early January. Check back often to see what is going on in the live tournament world and to follow the progress of the Brunson 10.

Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic Day 4
Las Vegas, Nevada - Dec 17th, 2009
The Doyle´s Room family of players was down to only one representative by the time day 4 started at the Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic at the Bellagio. Amit "Amak316" Makhija came into the day 22nd of the remaining 36 players and was able to make his way inside the money but lost a coinflip soon after and was eliminated from the tournament short of a final table appearance.
The top 27 players made the money and after Hasan Habib was eliminated in 28th place it wasn´t long before Amit had his chips in the middle. After the money bubble he only had 280k chips with the blinds at 6,000 / 12,000 and a 1k ante and when he picked up AJ suited and was faced with a raise to 30k he moved all in. Matt Waxman called with his pocket sevens and in a standard race situation the smaller pair held up to eliminate Makhija in 26th place for a payout of $28,569.
Even with all of Doyle´s group of players eliminated play rolled on in the tournament named after Brunson. A full five levels of play brought the field down to the final 16 players, led by Curt Kohlberg who is coming off a recent WPT final table at Foxwoods where he finished in 5th place. Going into the playdown day of the Five Diamond Kohlberg has 2,856,000 chips and leads the charge towards a second consecutive WPT main event final table. Play will continue tomorrow until the 16 are trimmed to only 6 who will then return the next day to play it out for the title and nearly $1.5 million first prize on the WPT TV set.

DoylesRoom.com´s Amit Makhija Aims for WPT Title in Doyle Brunson 5 Diamond World Poker Classic
Las Vegas, Nevada - December 17th, 2009
After strong showings during Day 3, Doyle Brunson and Brunson 10 member Dani Stern bust out of the 5 Diamond World Poker Classic. Amit Makhija heads into Day 4 within reach of final table.
Doyle Brunson has busted out of the tournament named in his honor, but he´ll still be well represented in the WPT Doyle Brunson 5 Diamond World Poker Classic when play resumes today at Noon in Vegas at Bellagio. After a chip count rollercoaster ride that saw Amit Makhija go from 59th place to one of the top spots, the Brunson 10 member heads into Day 4 with enough chips to rally back to the top.
Stated poker legend Doyle Brunson, "All of the members of The Brunson 10 had a good run at Bellagio and I´m proud of every single one of them. Amit´s still in it, he´s on my team of pros for a reason and I really think he´s going to keeping building his chip stack until he´s on top. Just watch."
Amit Makhija will resume play with 423,000 chips. While the Brunson 10 pro was short-stacked during most of the tournament, he rallied late in the day to position himself among the chip leaders. By the end of the day, he had dropped back down to 22nd place.
With the top 27 players finishing in the money, Amit Makhija is still in a position to add to his nearly $2.5 million in lifetime poker winnings. In last year´s WPT Doyle Brunson 5 Diamond World Poker Classic, Makhija earned $21,620 for a 79th place finish.
The Doyle Brunson 5 Diamond World Poker Classic will resume today at Noon at Bellagio in Las Vegas with 36 players remaining. The $15,000+400 buy-in tournament features a $4,761,450 prize pool. The top 27 players will finish in the money.

Doyle Brunson Bets Against The Grim Reaper
January 23rd, 2009
Doyle Brunson is one of poker's biggest gamblers making a living off of his well thought out wagers. This time he has outdone himself by literally putting his life on the line and the ball in his court.
This all started when Mack Rawden wrote CinemaBlend's “100 Most Likely People To Die in 2009” and placed Doyle Brunson in 16th place with a 10% chance of kicking the bucket from obesity. If you've seen Doyle recently you would know that he has come quite a long way from his over 300 pound physique. He backs his reasoning for summoning this very peculiar bet in his recent blog.
Doyle has already made a million by losing 100 pounds in one year. Known as the king of poker and prop bets, Doyle has taken on a 10 to 1 wager that he will live to see 2010. Doyle put up $10,000 to Mack Rawden’s $1,000 and both agreed to donate any winnings to the American Cancer Society. One of Doyle's poker friends will hold the bet. The possible list of trustees include; Jack Binion, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey, Bobby Baldwin, Jennifer Harmon and Mike Sexton. Doyle is currently 75, still betting for a living and now living to win a bet.
Talk about putting your money where your mouth is!
