Doyle Brunson, winner of 10 World Series of Poker bracelets, said back in May that he would sit out the summer tournament schedule due to the long hours required to grind tournaments. However, on Sunday, the 79-year-old decided he wanted to play at least one event.
Brunson bought into the $50,000 buy-in “Players Championship.” More than 130 players had entered when registration closed, building a huge prize pool.
In addition to the massive first-place prize money, Brunson had side bets on the tournament. He said on Twitter that if he wins he could net an additional $800,000. If he busts he will lose the $50,000 plus anywhere from $80,000 to $140,000 more
