Dooberama witnesses Doyle Brunson's short time at the tables for the WSOP Europe Main Event.

In "My main event", Doobs delivers his tale to the Betfair Forums:

"In the first few hands I get dealt TT. Justin Bonomo (zeejustin), who I already knew was very agressive raises 100 to 400. I call from big or small blind. One other caller. Flop is 543, I check, pretty sure that Bonomo would bet if checked to him. He bets 800, I call. Turn a 6, I checked, praying he hadn't his the straight, he checks behind. Turn is a K, all my instincts tell me he has rivered me, but I still call his 2000 bet. He shows K5. Great start. This puts me down below 17000."

We've been there. All of us:

"Not long after, there is a raise to 300, Bonomo calls, Doyle Brunson calls. Flop comes 45T. Check, check, Bonomo bets 800 or 900, Brunson raises to 2550. Bonomo calls. Turn is an ace. Bonomo bets a few thousand, Brunson reraises. Bonomo goes all in. Brunson is pretty pot committed so calls. Bonomo has 2s3s, Brunson 44. Bonomo has him covered, after that pot off me and a few other steals, but they go through the formalities of counting chips. Brunson misses and says something like I have come an awful long way for a very short game and leaves."
