Poker legend Doyle Brunson continues to be as reckless as ever and we here at Gambling911.com love him for it.
This time the 78-year-old 10-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner lost a third scooter after it broke loose and flew off his Escalade into heavy traffic.
“It flew off the lift on my Escalade as I was leaving the Rio after day 1 of the Main Event. It was about 2 o’clock in the morning and as I made a sharp left on Flamingo I heard a strange noise behind me. I looked back and couldn’t see anything but I suspected my scooter had broken loose. The traffic was so bad I couldn’t turn back, so I continued home where I could see the lift had malfunctioned and the scooter was gone.
“This confirmed the “WSOP Scooter Jinx.” I’ve lost 3 scooters since I started using them a few years ago because of my bad leg and all 3 were during the WSOP. One had slipped off similar to this year and I never found it. Another time I left the key in my scooter when I went into the restroom and someone drove it away, never to be seen again. So I’ll be extremely careful next WSOP.”
Scooter jinx, heh?
