He may be the godfather of Texas Hold’em, but Doyle Brunson, at least for the time being, is going to remain just one bracelet under Phil Hellmuth’s record-setting 11 WSOP bracelets. The Texas Dolly made the final table (his 24th overall) at the $10,000 seven-card stud eight-or-better world championship event, but was quickly eliminated in seventh place. Brunson remains tied for second overall on the WSOP bracelet list with Johnny Chan.
Here is a recap of the ten bracelets Brunson has one thus far in his career.
1976: $5,000 deuce-to-seven draw
1976: $10,000 no-limit hold’em main event
