Texas Doyle Brunson Wins $2 Million

74 years old and sharper than ever, Doyle shows them how

Online and land poker legend Doyle 'Texas Dolly' Brunson (74) showed younger aces his considerable talent over the weekend playing against top poker pros in the mixed games at Bobby's Room at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Named after Bobby Baldwin, CEO of Mirage Resorts and a world champion poker player himself, the room has seen some mighty poker clashes and Brunson's big win was no exception.

Brunson went for six card Razz and beat his widely experienced opponent, commenting "I've got some more games for him if he wants to continue!
