Brunson Continues to Dominate
Remember when Doyle Brunson said he was going to "give in to Father Time and pass on tournament play at WSOP" this year?
It's a good thing he changed his mind.
The two-time WSOP Main Event champ has climbed to more than 600,000 in chips in the Main Event after flopping a set at one of the feature tables in the Amazon Room. The player in the cutoff raised preflop to 9,500 and Brunson called on the button. The big blind also came along, and the flop rolled out . Action checked over to the cutoff, who bet 13,000, and Brunson put in a raise to 42,000. The big blind then fired back with a check-shove for more than 130,000. The cutoff folded immediately, but Brunson wasted no time in making the call.

Accepting his fate, the player in the big blind got out of his seat and congratulated Doyle with a handshake even before the turn and river completed the board. Brunson is now among the leaders with 605,000.
