Doyle Brunson Eliminated From 2013 World Series Of Poker Main Event In 409th Place

In what could be his last main event ever, poker legend Doyle Brunson had quite a run.

Brunson entered Day 4 with about 700,000, but failed to get anything going through the first six hours or so of the day. He was down to his last 290,000 when his elimination hand occurred.

With blinds at 4,000-8,000, a player opened to 16,000 in early position. Another player called, and Brunson raised to 86,000. The action folded to the original raiser, who elected to fold as well. The player in the middle shoved, and Brunson called off his last 204,000.

Brunson tabled the K 10, while his opponent exposed pocket tens. The board ran out 7-3-2-9-A, and Brunson was eliminated, earning $28,063.

The entire room, which contained about 400 entrants left in contention for the $8.3 million first-place prize, gave Brunson a standing ovation as he made his exit.

The 79-year-old said earlier this year he wasn’t going to play any WSOP events, but he wound up deciding to enter the $50,000 Players Championship and the main event.

Brunson turns 80 next month.
