Doyle Brunson, the American poker legend who helped popularize the card game globally, has died aged 89.
Known as ‘the Godfather of Poker,’ Brunson was a leading professional player for more than 50 years, wrote a number of books on the game and was a familiar face on programs such as High Stakes Poker and World Series of Poker. He was a Poker Hall of Fame inductee and a two-time World Series of Poker Main Event champion.
Perhaps aptly, he passed away in the home of poker, Las Vegas, on Sunday. He was known in poker circles by his nickname, ‘Texas Dolly.’
Brunson appeared in films such as Zak Penn improv comedy The Grand as a poker pro and was a consultant on Lucy You, a 2007 film from Curtis Hanson about a hotshot player with personal demons.

In a world where film actors are highly paid to characterize and technically bluff their way convincingly on camera, many performers, in their spare time, are also highly skilled, professional gamblers:
Charlie Sheen
According to Denise Richards, ex-wife of actor Charlie Sheen, her former husband had a particular fondness for sports betting. Richards openly claimed Sheen gambled every day, spending up to $200,000 a week on betting and casinos. There are probably lessons to be learned from Sheen's life extremes, and one of them would be, to be careful if you catch casino fever, and to never take your gambling as far as the actor has done on numerous occasions.
Tobey Maguire
"With great power comes great responsibility," says actor Tobey Maguire as 'Peter Parker' in director Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" (2002). Maguire also believes that with great opportunities comes great money, as the performer is also a big stakes tournament-winning, poker player.

“Listen, here’s the thing. If you can’t spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker.”
It’s one of the all-time great lines in poker films. It’s also one of the many hooks that has made Rounders perhaps the most iconic and influential poker film of all time.
Originally released two decades ago in what was a very different world for poker, Rounders starred Matt Damon, Edward Norton, Gretchen Mol, John Malkovich, John Turturro and Martin Landau. Written by David Levien and Brian Koppelman and directed by John Dahl, it follows a young Damon as he gets sucked back into the world of high stakes poker while trying to clear the debts of his less scrupulous friend Worm, played by Norton.

2017-11-15T11:38:53-08:00James Woods Threatens Poker Pro on Twitter
James Woods, who appeared in the movie Videodrome a very long time ago but who has since retired from acting, is well-known for his provocative, outrageous behavior online, but this week, the turmoil surrounding his antics has ratcheted up. After Weeds actress Elizabeth Perkins appeared to accuse Woods of sexual harassment, professional poker player Daniel Negreanu compared Woods to politician Roy Moore, who is currently being accused of inappropriate conduct with minors.
Negreanu was referring to an allegation by actress Amber Tamblyn, who says that Woods propositioned her when she was just 16 years old. The 70-year-old Woods denied the allegation, although he has a documented history of dating women who are barely out of their teens.
Woods lashed out at Negreanu on Twitter, where Woods has often made homophobic, Islamophobic and otherwise incendiary comments.

After birthing the critical mess that was 2004′s Torque, director Joseph Kahn decided to take a few years off and focus back on his music video directing career. Working with such artists as Muse, Eminem, Britney Spears, and the Wu-Tang Clan, many wondered if Kahn would ever rebound from Hollywood’s harsh backlash.
Fast forward to 2011, and Kahn exposed a self funded ace from his sleeve titled Detention. Taking the festival circuit by storm, Kahn’s energetic filmmaking started garnering audience awards and critical acclaim from those lucky enough to snag a ticket, and for good reason.
