Godfather of poker Doyle Brunson, two-time world poker champion, dies at 89. No details are known about the cause of his death, which had a great influence on many generations of players.
Brunson won 10 World Series of Poker (WSP) tournaments and was a two-time main event world champion, in 1976 and 1977.
Originally from the town of Longworth, Texas, he wore a handsome cowboy hat. I especially liked his hat because where I belong this type of clothing is admired, I am a llanero from Venezuela and we see ourselves like our famous Venezuelan llanera music singer Reinaldo Armas:
He wrote one of his first books on poker strategy, Super System, considered a bible of this game. Daniel Negreanu called him a "legend". And he tweeted: "There will never be another Doyle Brunson. He will be missed by many."

He said for his part that "they cannot believe that this day has come". "You will always be high in our hearts, the man, myth, legend and godfather of poker!" Nguyen tweeted.
The truth is that nobody is eternal, but the legacy that Doyle Brunson left, mattered forever, since we will remember him with his famous and favorite 10-2 poker hand.
