Brunson was the first player to earn $1 million in poker tournaments and has won ten WSOP bracelets throughout his career, tied with Johnny Chan and Phil Ivey for second all-time, behind Phil Hellmuth‘s thirteen. He is also one of only four players to have won the Main Event at the World Series of Poker multiple times, which he did in 1976 and 1977. He is also one of only two players, along with Bill Boyd, to have won WSOP tournaments in four consecutive years. In addition, he is the first of five players to win both the WSOP Main Event and a World Poker Tour title. In January 2006, Bluff Magazine voted Brunson the most influential force in the world of poker.[4]
臨時決定去澳門參加紅龍杯。這是我第一次參加這麼大型的比賽。說起來也只是第二次參加比賽。上次的 Royal Poker Tour 規模小很多。這次主賽事的參加者有 987 人,錢圈則是 117 名以內。在淘汰到只剩 118 名的時候,那一個 bubble 就打了快兩個小時,大家的心臟都快停了。直到那個晚上的最後一把,坐在我旁邊的才被淘汰,太緊張了。晉級到第三天,很可惜停在第 77名,我的 AJ suited 輸給了一個韓國人的 JT,當最後的 river 翻出來是 T 的時候,只能說這是命了。
