Daredevil Devonshire

[user38449]

Word has it that Bryan Devonshire just made a $100 prop bet that he can drive a wheelchair across the room wearing goggles and a helmet, while doing a continuous wheelie without stopping.

A guy who calls himself "Crazy Mike" has taken him up on the bet, and said, "it's more of a challenge than flipping a coin." The two have been flipping coins for $100 a pop all night long.

More to come.

Doyle's Influence Spreads Far and Wide

[user38449]

Though he was not one of our 296 entrants in today's tournament, Doyle Brunson's presence is still being felt out in the Player's Pavilion.

On a board showing Q-J-2, the action was checked around to Annie Duke, who took a stab at the pot; she was called by a single opponent.

The turn brought a King and both players checked, opting to see the river. The last card off the deck was a 10, and again both Duke and her opponent knuckled the felt. Duke's opponent said, "two pair," before turning over 10-2 offsuit, the hand made famous by Doyle Brunson who won two World Championships with it.

Duke wasn't amused and subtly shook her head as she tossed her cards in the muck.
