DB is a great middle man to be representing the prob teenage pimple faces who actually bought the WPT, wise move. Poker is boomin' right now and it's only goin' to get bigger. 2003 wsop record buy ins 839 lol Today 2005 wsop an outstanding 5619 buy ins! WHahhoooo!!!

ive been told that hes only a front person for a large collection of businessman...doyle is merely a pawn for promotion

This was some interesting reading. But the investors making the offer have not been able to finalize (lock down) the capital for the offer. And besides, the shareholders would have to approve it before it could happen...not to sure that they are happy about the POSSIBLE offer. Last I heard/read the actual offer has not been made. Sounds more like a hostile takeover IMHO

i last heard that he risked his fortune buying the WPT...i can't call it a risk because poker is a growing sport so it's a big investment...

Best of luck to Doyle and his group of investors in trying to acquire the WPT stocks.

I hope he gets it coz he represents everything that is good in poker.

Wow thats a lot of money. Doyle brunson is my personal favorite. Hes a perfect example of the old school poker player.

Cheers,

I am interested in that too.
Anyone has some infos ?!

You say "won"...I assume you're talking about the Championship at the Bellagio. The final table there was

Paul Maxfield, the sole amateur, an entrepreneur from the UK

Hasan Habib, a top pro in his 2nd Championship final table

Phil Ivey, a WPT fixture, in his 6th final table, 2 of them at Championships

Tuan Le, winner at Foxwoods, the only Season 3 champion to make the final table

John “the Razor” Phan, a top journeyman pro from Long Beach, CA

Rob Hollink, a skilled international pro from the Northern Netherlands


Winner was Tuan Le.


If you're looking for info on another tourney, check the WPT website - they'll have it all there.
