Celebrating the Extraordinary Legacy of Doyle Brunson at the World Series of Poker

Doyle Brunson and the World Series of Poker (WSOP) go way back. The biography of "Texas Dolly" contains the history of the WSOP within it.

Brunson was at the first WSOP ever and attended almost every WSOP since (outside of boycotting four years in the early 2000s). He won the sixth ever WSOP Main Event (one of two Main Event victories) and collected ten bracelets overall, tying for second most bracelets with Johnny Chan and Phil Ivey.

Days away from the 2023 WSOP, PokerNews looks back with the poker community at the ways in which Brunson stood astride the WSOP like a colossus.
