Poker legend Doyle Brunson has tweeted that he will no longer play in the World Series of Poker Main Event.

Brunson, who turns 81 next month, tweeted:

To everybody who keeps asking...I'm not playing the Main Event. Hours are just too damn long

Doyle is a two-time World Series of Poker Main Event champion, a Poker Hall of Fame inductee, and the author of several books on poker.

At last year’s WSOP Main Event, Brunson bowed out at 408th place.
