Todd Brunson - Poker Legend
|
Doyle Brunson's son, Todd Brunson, is well on his way to becoming one of the top poker pros in the world. His skill as a player at the highest limits is well known in the poker world. He also contributed a chapter for the much-anticipated sequel to Super / System. Todd Brunson wrote the chapter on Seven-card stud high-low, also known as Seven-card stud eight-or-better.
Todd Brunson was attending law school when he announced to his family that he was dropping out in order to follow in the legendary footsteps of his father, Doyle, and become a professional poker player. Todd learned how to play poker while attending Texas Tech. Funnily enough his father did not teach him the game, and remembers that poker was rarely discussed at home while his son was growing up. One could argue that it is all in the genes and a matter of nature triumphing over nuture!
Todd Brunson quickly showed that he was capable of supporting himself in this manner when he won a huge poker tournament at the famous Bicycle Club. It was the $200,000 Diamond Jim Brady Tournament, and he won the main event at the tender age of twenty-one.
Since then Todd Brunson has gone from strength to strength and now routinely plays in the largest cash games on the planet. These side games, so named to differentiate them from tournament games, which tend to take center stage, are the toughest arenas bar none, and Brunson is a consistent winner. Todd was also part of the legendary team of poker pros who took on Texas billionaire Andy Beal in the biggest heads-up hold'em game in history. Todd Brunson personally beat Beal to the tune of $20 million, and that is truly the stuff of poker legend.
