Doyle Brunson’s WPT Success Leads to Changes to Wednesday’s Christmas Bounty Tournament at DoylesRoom.com

With Doyle and Todd Brunson doing well in the WPT Doyle Brunson 5 Diamond World Poker Classic, DoylesRoom.com adds new bounties to Wednesday night’s bounty tournament

 

Las Vegas, Nevada – December 15, 2009 – After a successful run in the WPT tournament named in his honor, Doyle Brunson may be unable to play in the DoylesRoom.com Christmas Bounty, scheduled for Wednesday at 9:30 pm ET, DoylesRoom.com has announced. Todd Brunson, also scheduled to play, may also miss the tournament. Instead, Chris Moorman, Zach Clark, Mike Caro and Pam Brunson will play in their absence.

 

Said Will Griffiths, VP of Marketing for DoylesRoom.com, “We want to congratulate both Doyle and Todd Brunson on their successes so far in the WPT Doyle Brunson 5 Diamond World Poker Classic. We’d also like to let those looking forward to playing in Wednesday’s Christmas Family Bounty know that the tournament is guaranteed to be just as exciting without the Brunsons, especially with an increased bounty now up for grabs.”

 

For just $27.50, bounty hunters can buy into the Brunson Family Christmas Bounty Tournament at 9:30pm ET and play for a prize pool that includes up to $50,000 in bounty money. Any player who knocks out one of the marked players will win $1,500 in bounty cash, up from the original $1,000. Two bounty knockouts will earn the bounty hunter $10,000 and three knockouts will earn the successful player $50,000.

 

In addition to up to $50,000 in bounty money, the Brunson Family Christmas Bounty Tournament prize pool includes 100 copies of Brunson’s new book, The Godfather of Poker, which retails for $26.95 at Barnes & Noble and other popular book retailers. Any player who finishes in the top 100 will win a copy of the book.

 

Griffiths notes that if both Doyle and Todd are available to play in the Brunson Family Christmas Bounty, they will play as scheduled with bounties on their heads.
