The last poker legend has gone.
I am really sad, but, what can we do? This is life and it ends for
all of us, someday. He's just gone before us, to a place where, I hope, we all gonna meet.
I've got to say that his life in this planet was (and continue) the longest source of poker inspiration to me and bilions of players no matter the game type, if cards, dices, roullete...whatever a casino holds. Therefore If we come from powder and return to it, for sure his soul, spirit and memory are toward a very reserved and special unimaginable place for us humans linked to a body.
So, may God rest his soul and comfort his family whom suffering much more with this deep lost.

He was a great man and a legend of tournament poker and all poker. This man played poker at a fairly strong level throughout his life and this is proved by several bracelets that he won in world tournaments. He also made a huge contribution to the development of poker, wrote books that thousands of people read and still read, and not everyone manages to live to 89 years old. May he rest in peace🥺

He brought such a sofisticated yet humorous atmosphere to the poker tables which is almost untouchable. Also prooved that even professional poker is a very stressful job and hobby especially in his age, he delevired his elder year's games so calm.
Cannot really find the words, I just admired what spirit and game this man gave to the poker community, and this week definitely watch some videos Doyle included. :)

It's not often we lose a literal LEGEND. As long as I've been aware of the man's existence, I've only heard others say good things and it all seemed very sincere. The world of poker will never be the same again. He will be missed by family, friends, and fans alike. He made his mark on the world and his legacy will live forever. RIP Doyle Brunson
