Double Take?

At table 12, Doyle Brunson and Greg Raymer are sitting right next to each other. Doyle is wearing his typical cowboy hat and Raymer is wearing his imitation Panama Jack hat. At first glance, you almost think you're seeing double.

Brunson is current sitting with around 30,000 in chips.
