Phil Hellmuth(credit: Wikipedia)
Doyle Brunson has won two World Series of Poker Main Events, both of ‘em with the same final hand, 10, 2 off-suit. He likes his ducks. The Godfather of Poker has a total of ten WSOP bracelets. The only man ahead of him on that list is Phil Hellmuth. The Madison Kid, who is also known as the Poker Brat, was the youngest man to win a WSOP Main Event back in 1989. Last year, he won his record-breaking 11th.
Despite his big mouth and ‘scintillating personality’, Hellmuth is known as a rock at the table. He is not going to put his chips in the pot foolishly. Doyle knows it.

PreFlop
Phil Hellmuth, The Poker Brat, sees no value in raising his high suited connector against Texas Dolly and limps in. Doyle Brunson checks his option from the big blind and looks to the flop.
The Flop [3, 9
, 2]
Doyle got a small bit of the flop and checks to see where Phil is at. Phil also checks.
The Turn [3, 9, 2] [4]
Nothing much for either player. Doyle puts $4k in the pot. That’s a sure sign of a value bet. Phil smells something fishy, so he looks his ole pal Doyle up.
The River [3, 9, 2, 4] [2
]
Hey, hey! Three ducks, or trips, as they say. It’s time to triple the bet from the turn. Doyle makes it $12k to go. Phil knows he is beat and lays down his hand.
Watch this clip of Doyle Brunson and Cirque du Soleil’s Guy Laliberte from GSN’s High Stakes Poker. It’s $818k. Now that’s a Texas-sized pot. Yee-haw!
