The Godfather is Gone

Over on the second feature table, Doyle Brunson was just eliminated from action. According to one of the dealers working that table, Brunson held pocket threes against an opponent's {6-?} {5-?}. The board was {9-?} {7-?} {3-?} {4-?} {A-?}.

We're not sure when the money went in, but Doyle's opponent flopped a double gutter against Brunson's set and was able to pick up his straight on the turn. Unable to fill up on the river, Brunson was eliminated from the tournament and received a standing ovation from the fans in the area.
