Poker icon Doyle Brunson signed a worldwide management and marketing representation deal with Poker Royalty. The deal includes all major platforms, including media, sponsorship, licensing, commercial endorsements and appearances.
“Texas Dolly” Brunson is considered to be the poker’s modern day patriarch. No one can deny his achievements as the living legend has been in a major role to uplift poker’s image. He has been one of the most important people to build poker as big as it is these days.
“I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. I’m a terrible businessman and dealmaker, so I’m glad to be able to turn over all that stuff to them”, Brunson says about Poker Royalty and the deal.
Currently Brunson holds ten WSOP bracelets, two of them which are from Main Events. These two Main Event victories came in 1976 and 1977 when Doyle held 2-10 as conclusive pocket cards. No wonder the hand is now known as the “Doyle Brunson”.
Nobody can question Doyle’s superior poker skills, but he’s a successful author as well. His ‘Super System’ can be considered as the basis of modern poker.
The founder and Chief Executive Officer of Poker Royalty, Brian Balsbraugh tells that representing Bruson is his career highlight. “If it weren’t for Doyle and his hard work the poker industry would not have evolved to the point where there could even be a Poker Royalty. I have no doubt we will do some big things together.”
