Both Brunsons in the Chip Lead

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 1,000 ante

Doyle Brunson opened to 12,000 and Paul Volpe defended his big blind. Both players drew one, but Volpe check-folded to a bet of 25,000 from Brunson.

Meanwhile, his son Todd also has a stack of over 400K and the pair appear to be the chip leaders with 28 left.
