2008 Poker Legend
Doyle Brunson To Attend APT Macau The Asian Poker
Tour (APT) has announced that the Godfather of
Poker,
Doyle Brunson, will be attending the APT's Macau
tournament. Brunson, the
biggest name in the history of poker, has confirmed
he will be playing at the APT Macau Main Event at
the Galaxy StarWorld Hotel and Casino
starting on the 27th of August. He will be joined
by his son, Todd Brunson, who is also a big-name
player in the poker world. The participation
of the Brunsons further raises the standing of the
Asian Poker Tour which also features other top
professionals such as J.C. Tran, Nam Le, Quinn Do,
APT Philippines champion David Saab and hundreds of
other poker players from around the
world. Aside from
playing in the main event at APT Macau, Doyle will
also be on hand for a special event of his own - a
book signing which is anticipated to attract huge
interest. His books, especially Super System and
Super System II, are considered the most
authoritative sources on playing and winning at
poker. Fans and players will be able to meet him
and get their copies personally signed at APT
Macau. Doyle Brunson is
a legendary American poker player who has played
professionally for over fifty years. Nicknamed
"Texas Dolly", he has seen it all - from the early
beginnings of poker in the United States to the
sudden surge of the game's popularity during the
last decade. He is currently in a tie for second
place on the all-time winners list with ten World
Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets - just one behind
first-placer Phil Hellmuth. His live tournament
winnings at present exceed USD
$5,300,000. Like Doyle, his
son Todd is also a professional poker player. Todd,
who did not learn the game until he was in law
school, has been playing in both cash games and
tournaments for the last two decades. Nicknamed
"Darkhorse", he also has a WSOP bracelet of his
own, making the Brunsons the only father-son
combination in history to have won WSOP bracelets.
His live tournament winnings presently exceed USD
$3,200,000. APT Macau, the
second leg of the 2008 Asian Poker Tour, will be
held at the Galaxy StarWorld Hotel and Casino in
Asia's gambling mecca from August 27 to 31, 2008.
The APT is home to Asia's largest guaranteed prize
pool with USD $1,500,000 in cash. The winner of APT
Macau is guaranteed at least USD $500,000, which is
sure to attract the top poker players from all over
the world. The buy-in for
the Macau leg of this year's APT is set at USD
$5300 ($5000+$300). Players can also win seats to
the event by qualifying through various online
satellites being held all over the world on top
