Poker legend Doyle Brunson won his 10th WSOP bracelet Saturday night, July 2nd at the Rio in Las Vegas. He is the 2nd player to do so. Just four days behind Jackie Chan when he won his 10th.
Brunson's win was not an easy one in the field of 301 players. The final table included the tough competition of Jason Lester, Ayaz Mahmood, Layne Flack, Scotty Nguyen, and Minh Ly.
Event #31: No-Limit Hold'em (Six-Handed) Championship
Location: Rio, Las Vegas
Buy-in: $5,000
Number of Entries: 301
Total Prize Money: $1,414,700
1st Place: Doyle Brunson, $367,800
Nobody was paying attention to the money piled on the table. Everyone was looking at bracelet #10 on the 73 year old poker legends wrist.
When asked how he felt about continuing to compete at poker's highest level and play marathon sessions for days at a time against younger opponents, Brunson once again exhibited his irresistible charm.
"It's hard to substitute for experience. No one has more poker experience than I do. Then again, no one here is as old as I am."
