Earlier today, Doyle Brunson tweeted that Event 15: $5,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split 8-or-Better would be the first event he'd play at the 2012 World Series of Poker.
TexDolly Doyle Brunson Planning on making my first start in the 5K 8 or better tourney. Probably gonna register late to cut down on the hours.

Well, moments ago he arrived, taking his seat in the Orange Section of the Amazon Room. Brunson doesn't play as many events these days because they're two long, and it's great to see the ten-time bracelet winner in action. Perhaps he can even capture number eleven, and light a fire under Phil Hellmuth for the rest of the series.
He's currently waiting for the next flight of late registrants to start, and will soon have a stack in front of him once again.

Shaun Deeb, who used to be sitting right in front of us, is gone. He recently tweeted this:

Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split 8-or-Better isn't the most exciting game, but can anything be more boring than this:

We didn't think so.
Doyle and his son Todd Brunson are in the field today, and according to Todd, the two registered together.

Todd was recently in a hand with Thomas Keller, where Brunson bet on fifth street, and Keller called. Brunson led again on sixth and seventh, Keller called both bets, and Brunson turned over for a pair of kings. Keller released, and Brunson pulled in the pot.
At an adjacent table, father Doyle lost a pot.

Here are some snippets from the players on Twitter about their time in tonight's event.
NormanChad Norman Chad I've spent the last 4 hours with the Poker Brat, which is like spending 4 days in a VW Bug with seven rabid and pregnant weasels.
