Apparently, fate had never played poker with Brunson-he lived. He has survived whippings, gun fights, stabbings, mobsters (the real-life ones portrayed in the movie Casino), murderers, and a death sentence when, riddled with incurable cancer, he was given months to live by doctors who told him his hand was played out. It’s a story of guts and glory, of good luck and bad, of triumph and unspeakable tragedy, of courage and grace. The story of Doyle Brunson, an American treasure and the greatest poker player of all time, is one for the ages.

Fascinating true-life adventure of an American treasure, a man who bluffed death, survived the mean streets of Fort Worth and mob-run Las Vegas, and bet millions of dollars on everything from poker to golf, to become a two-time world champion poker player.
