DoylesRoom Team Doing Great at WSOP
Doyle Brunson has been trying to put together the ultimate poker team, and when you look at the results in this year’s WSOP, it seems like he’s doing a great job. Even though the pro himself hasn’t had a great run this year, his team is doing quite well. So far, the DoylesRoom team has cashed more than $1 million at the WSOP. It’s true that the cashes have come from a large number of players, but there have been some impressive cashes. All six members of the Brunson 10 have cashed, with the highest cash going to Amit Makhija who brought home $208,148 in two events. The others haven’t disappointed, though. Dani Stern cashed in an impressive $161,934. Chris Moorman and Zach Clark each brought in a five figure cash. Alex Kamberis and Steve Gross haven’t quite paid off their entry fees yet.
Doyle Brunson himself hasn’t cashed at all this year and he lost his stack in the Tournament of Champions on day 2, but Todd Brunson has brought in over $26,000 in the two events he managed to cash in, so the family name retains its honor. Allen Kessler is a DoylesRoom pro who has been doing very well this year. He’s already cashed in seven different events, earning over a third of a million dollars.
Among those competing for a place in the Brunson 10, the competition has been fierce. David Sands, Daniel Kelly, Faraz Jaka, and Michael Martin are competing for the seventh place. Currently Sands leads, but a cash in any event by any of the other three could change that, particularly if it were a high-place cash. There are only a handful of events left, so it’s an exciting time.
Overall, it’s been an excellent year for DoylesRoom as a poker room and for the team overall, even if the Texas Dolly seems to have lost his touch for the moment.
