Doyle Brunson To Undergo Cancer Surgery

He seems to be keeping a positive attitude and stated, "Luckily it’s on my head and everybody knows I’m hardheaded.”

HaHa I hope I'm like him when I'm close to death (that age). Being able to crack jokes @ very serious times is tough to do for most folks.

He's always had a great sense of humor though.

I hope the surgery goes well & that he gets back to the poker tbls asap! :icon_thum

Always liked Doyle's attitude ,hope he gets better soon .....scorp

He is over 80, so he has lived a long life. I wish him well and will be praying for him.

For the first time in his 29 years was diagnosed with - cancer. And still not dead. Maybe even twenty-odd will live.

Hope he'll be fine. What a great guy.

I like this photo of Todd Brunson with Doyle looking on.

hope he recovers and is good health after his operation. I'm sure everyone in the poker community wishes him well

A legend in poker,Doyle will never go away the legends never dies ,the cancer will go away

I hope he has successful surgery and makes a full recovery obviously. No matter how much longer he lives, his influence on the game will be felt forever!

So sad. His book was the first I read.

its sad but we all have to go some time. Hopefully he will pull through and be ok.

Hope it turns out well for Doyle, wishing him all the best.

He is best, a legend in poker, hope he will get better.

Wishing the best to the living legend

He posted it on twitter: "Simple or not, this will be my 12th major operation. Gonna play poker now because i always heard u get lucky right before u die"

I think till his humour is with him, he's all right. I hope we will see him soon in a big live tournament.

That's probably less likely, regardless of the outcome - he's been scaling back his tournament play for years now and just focusing on the cash games, doesn't like the grind of long days at tournament tables any more. And fair enough too.

Thoughts and best wishes are with him, true legend of the game.

I wish recovery.!

All the best to him & his family.

Hopefully he'll be fine.

Read it's his 3rd melanoma, so I'm quite optimistic.

God bless ya doyle.

We need more guys like him in the world..

Im gonna miss seeing him in the main event

GL Doyle you were always one of my favorites of the original poker guard to get fame , always seemed like a genuine nice guy that would just be fun to play with and be around . I really hope everything works out great and he can continue to be one of the best ambassadors for the game it has ever had !

Pamela (his daughter) said that a small mole on his head turned out to be melanoma - it is his 3rd.

He was playing poker last night and was totally fine.

It will be removed soon - if it was detected early he should be okay. It is not really surgery to remove a cancerous mole. They have no reason to believe it has spread and do not think that it has.

Wish Doyle a speedy recovery. So glad they caught it early.

Hopefully he will get through this ok. I really like to just watch Doyle play old school poker on some of these young folks these days.

Sad

Cancer is very sad, I hope he will fight it until the end.
