The legendary Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson went under the surgeon's knife earlier this week to remove a cancerous growth from his face.
Brunson, a 10-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner and member of the Poker Hall of Fame, took to Twitter on Monday and informed his army of 422,000 followers that the surgery to remove squamous carcinoma had been successful.
Squamous cell carcinoma is a cancer of the squamous cells, which are the main part of the epidermis of the skin, although they also occur in the lining of the lungs and digestive tract.
