Doyle Brunson, nicknamed the “Godfather of Poker,” has died. He was 89.
“He was a beloved Christian man, husband, father and grandfather,” Brunson’s family said in a statement shared by agent Brian Balsbaugh. “We’ll have more to say over the coming days as we honor his legacy. Please keep Doyle and our family in your prayers. May he rest in peace.” The family did not announce a cause of death.
His son, Todd Brunson, also confirmed his father’s death Sunday evening.
