Watch out CNN.  Poker pro Doyle Brunson, the Texas Dolly, has finally debuted his Twitter page and within only a 24 hour period, Doyle already had 86 followers.  That's more than Gambling911.com resident hottie Jenny Woo has gotten in her few weeks on Twitter.

"Say it ain't so," one Doyle fan commented on his Facebook page.  "Another person buys in to twenty year old technology repackaged as the latest craze."

Doyle's first Twitter: "Meetings today for DoylesRoom.com and hosting Doyle's Bounty tournament tonight :)"

"His Twitter page should be plenty of fun since these bounty tournaments feature some of the hottest celebrities around today including Nicky Hilton and Mickey Rourke," said Payton O'Brien of Gambling911.com. 

Of course, Doyle's getting on the Twitter bandwagon a little late and CNN has little to worry about...at least not yet.  The big news Thursday centered on 24 hour news network, CNN, becoming the first site to hit a million followers. 

Among the most active Twitter users in the poker community that Gambling911.com follows:  Annie Duke, David Williams, Maria Ho and Lacey Jones. 

Brunson has fast become one of the most popular personalities on the Gambling911.com website and an exemplary representative of the online poker sector.
