As the “Godfather of Poker” continues to cling onto life, Brunson had one dying wish:
"Wish we could report Doyle died while taking off @liv_boeree thong with his teeth”.
This is what he tweeted last week. Boeree is a female poker pro.
Brunson keeps on kicking but continues to rank high in death pools it seems.
In recent weeks, the poker diehard (no pun intended) has come up dead more often in Google Search then ever before.
“The ‘Doyle Brunson is dead’ rumors tend to hit their peak some time in May,” says Jenny Woo, Gambling911.com Senior International Correspondent, who regularly covers the burly Brunson.
While Brunson’s doctors have given him a perfect bill of health following a skin cancer scare, the rumors continue to take their toll. Friends and family of the creeky-legged 76-year-old poker icon routinely have to inquire as to whether the news is true or false.
Brunson wrote back in May.
Every year about this time, some sicko feels the need to spread the news that I died. Doug Dalton was the first to call and I had several calls after that. I was tweeting on twitter and Howard Lederer spread the word that if I was dead, someone was twittering on my account. When I do die, hopefully years from now, everybody will have to check to see if it's true.
“Gambling911.com receives some 10 searches per day related to Doyle Brunson being dead,” said Woo. “It is bizarre to say the least. I give him another 20 years. He’s a keeper.”
