The Godfather of Poker Doyle Brunson makes $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship Final Table!

It was the story of this week at the WSOP. Poker legend Doyle Brunson played his first WSOP event since five years and made it straight away to the final table and that at an age of 84 years!

Even Phil Hellmuth was full of praise for Doyle:

Unfortunately, Doyle missed his 11th bracelet last night and finished in 5th for $43,963. Nevertheless, it was an incredible performance by Brunson and a fantastic conclusion at the end of a historical poker career.

Brian Rast Wins Event #23: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship

Although Brunson outshined everybody, there was still a bracelet and a decent chunk of money to be won and it was nobody else than Brian Rast, who once again came out on top at a very strong final table.
