| | | The story of Brunson, the greatest poker player of all time, is a story of guts and glory, good luck and bad, triumph and unspeakable tragedy, and courage and grace in the face of insurmountable odds.
Annotation:
Doyle Brunson, member of the Poker Hall of Fame and author of the acknowledged "Bible" of poker, DOYLE BRUNSON'S SUPER SYSTEM, made his living playing poker long before the magic of television transformed the game into a glamorous national obsession. But as he reveals in this incredible biography, Brunson's life has been so filled with tension, tragedy, triumph and adventure that playing high-stakes poker must feel like a vacation. In addition to describing his most euphoric and his most morbid moments at the poker table, Brunson writes about winning and losing millions on the golf course, enduring the heartbreaking death of his daughter, being pistol-whipped and having a gun stuck in his face, gambling with his life against gangsters, suffering a horrific leg injury that ended his promising basketball career and somehow surviving a terminal case of inoperable cancer.
