Just announced.
RIP DOYLE
(back in the day saw that on Pokerstars chat all the time)

Still have an autographed copy of super system 2.
RIP Doyle
More lives then a cat
Wow
This time it's real.
RIP to the grandfather of the game
RIP DOYLE
Definitely surreal. Hard to argue anyone was more influential in poker.
RIP Doyle. Was just thinking "How old is Doyle" one week ago and was surprised to find out he was gonna be 90 this year! (Well, not now).
Good run.
:shock
wow thought it was a troll i googled didn't see anything
Saw rumor and decided to go direct to Todd Brunson twitter to confirm. Sad indeed but as I said on Twitter can y’all imagine that epic poker game going on now with Doyle’s arrival including Stu Unger among others and Mike Sexton on the call.
Yeah when I saw Brian Balsbaugh was announcing it, I knew it was real.Quote:

Brian Balsbaugh was Doyle's longtime agent.

Reminds me of Tommy Lasorda.

I remember going to the World Series for the first time 15 or so years ago. Across the Rio, I saw all the poker celebrities. I wasn’t particularly impressed, but I didn’t think it was cool.. on day four I was playing 25 no limit at the Rio and incomes Doyle walking across…. The guy cause the games to basically come to a halt, and he got a mini round of applause from all the players. Many other players, that people considered celebrities walk that same walk, but he was the only one where people were dumbfounded.
Correct at the same time don’t forget Doyle was actually a very good athlete when he was younger. Likely blessed with good genes.Quote:

Had him in like 4-5 straight dead pools after before moving on more than a decade ago.
Incredible to have been around gambling so long without controversy or baggage, unless there's rumblings that I never heard.
