Poker Community Celebrates Poker Godfather On First-Ever Doyle Brunson Day

In card rooms and poker games throughout the world, the poker community celebrated the inaugural Doyle Brunson Day, Oct. 2, in honor of the Godfather of Poker who passed away earlier this year.

Several poker brands and operators offered ten-deuce promotions that incentivized players to play the famous Brunson hand for a shot at promotional money, while online sites, including PokerStars, ran ten-deuce freerolls as a tribute to Brunson.

PokerNews offered a look back at the often-forgotten online poker site Doyle's Room and spoke with 13 poker players about their memories with the Poker Godfather.
