One of the things that draws players to Doyle’s Room is the number of top professionals who show up to play in tournaments on the site. From ten-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner and site namesake Doyle Brunson to top pros Hoyt Corkins and Cyndy Violette, the Thursday night Bounty Tournament consistently draws some of the biggest names in the poker industry. Now, Doyle’s Room is going one step further with a bounty tournament that brings the entire Brunson clan to the battle.
Starting tonight at 9:30pm Eastern Time, for a $10 buy-in (plus juice), players on Doyle’s Room will have the opportunity to “Beat The Brunsons” with large cash prizes on the line. Leading the Brunson family is, of course, Doyle, who also has the largest bounty on his head, $1,000. Son Todd and daughter Pamela – who have both captured major championships in the poker world – will each be at the tables with $500 targets on their backs. Other members of Team Brunson will be playing with a $250 bounty. Besides these big prizes, there are plenty of other ways for players to capture different prizes in the “Beat The Brunsons” Bounty Tournament.
Every player in the tournament has a $5 bounty on their head, which can add up to a sizable chunk of change for a player who drives deep in the tournament. Its winner will earn a $500 chip for play at Doyle’s Casino, the casino arm of the Doyle’s Room operation, and there are also prizes for battling the Brunsons themselves. If you can knock out Doyle with his signature 10-2 hand, you will earn a $5,000 prize and, if Brunson family members go to war with each other in a “Brunson Family Feud” and one is eliminated, the players at that table will earn their buy-in back. Finally, if one player can eliminate each Brunson family member, that player will earn the grand prize of $100,000.
If you don’t want to pay the $10 entry fee, there are a multitude of ways to earn your way into the tournament. Speed and turbo sit and gos run 24 hours a day for $1.10 and heads-up satellites also are available for a $5.50 buy-in. Each day, there is also a multi-table satellite tournament that starts at $1.10.
Since joining the Cake Poker Network back in January, Doyle’s Room has become the jewel of the group. According to PokerScout.com, which ranks site traffic, the Cake Poker Network is in the Top Ten worldwide with a peak average of over 3,000 cash players daily, doubling the its numbers over the past six months. The Thursday Bounty Tournament is one of the most attractive, but the opportunity to “Beat The Brunsons” should draw even more players to the site.
