About this product Product Information Fascinating The Godfather of Poker adventure of an American treasure, a man who bluffed death, survived the mean streets of Fort Worth and mob-run Las Vegas, and bet millions of dollars on everything from poker to golf, to become a two-time world champion poker player. The story of Doyle Brunson, an American treasure and the greatest poker player of all time, is one for the ages. It's a The Godfather of Poker of guts and glory, of good luck and bad, of triumph and unspeakable tragedy, of courage and grace. He has survived whippings, gun fights, stabbings, mobsters the real-life ones portrayed in The Godfather of Poker movie Casinomurderers, and a death sentence when, riddled The Godfather of Poker incurable cancer, he was given months to live by doctors who told him his hand was played out. Apparently, fate had never played poker with Brunson--he lived. Of a group of 32 men he played poker with in the tough alleys of Texas, just he and one other survived the treacherous perils of that life. A master of the bluff, his most outrageous bluff came after being pistol-whipped and told he's going to die with a gunman pointing a pistol at his forehead. Again, he lived. He's gambled for millions of dollars--and with his life against the real-life mobsters and killers made famous in the movie Casino --and was the biggest sports bettor in the world with a reputation of betting enormous sums of money on just about anything. Doyle has not only made more money at golf than anyone else until Tiger Woods came along, he once bet one million dollars on a single hole--that, when he was virtually wheelchair-bound and could barely stand. He's been hard-up flat broke more times than he's got fingers and has won millions of dollars just as many times. Brunson has seen it all: from the athletic dreams and a leg shattered by a freak injury which waylaid his path to the NBA he was drafted by the Lakersto the devastating death of his first-born daughter, to outrageous exploits like trying to discover Noah's Ark and raise the Titanic. Doyle's rollercoaster of a life defines the saying: Truth is stranger than fiction. Twice a winner of the prestigious World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, he's won millions and lost millions--sometimes in seconds--but decidedly more of the former than the latter. Brunson can still be found playing in the highest stakes poker games in the world, often with as much as one The Godfather of Poker dollars in front of him. To every one of the million people worldwide who play poker each year, Doyle Brunson, is the legendary "Babe Ruth of Poker"--the greatest gambler and poker player who has ever lived.

  • In Business Q and A
    In Business Q and A Jim Murren, President and COO of MGM Mirage Interviewed by Richard Velotta / Staff Writer Jim Murren's promotion to president and chief operating officer of MGM Mirage didn't get much attention when it occurred last summer. That's because, at the time, the company was in the midst of so much other news that overshadowed the announcement: A deal with Dubai World that places half of the ownership of Project CityCenter in the hands of a foreign investor; another with Sol Kerzner, whose spectacular Atlantis project in the Bahamas is considered one of the premier resorts in the world, to design a Jim Murren is president and project with MGM Mirage on a site at Las Vegas Boulevard and chief operating officer of MGM Sahara Avenue; and the opening of a new casino resort in Mirage. Detroit. Photo by Steve Marcus And Murren, who joined the company in 1998, has been involved in all of them. He started with the company as executive vice president and chief financial officer after a 14-year Wall Street career. In 1999, he was named president and chief financial officer, and he is a member of MGM Mirage's board of directors and its executive committee. A strong believer in philanthropy, Murren and his wife, Heather, founded the Nevada Cancer Institute, a nonprofit institution dedicated to providing a cancer center for the state. He also serves as a trustee for foundations at the University of Nevada, Reno, and UNLV. Murren talked with In Business Las Vegas about several of his company's recent deals, progress at CityCenter and why he's frustrated with some of the community's problems — and the people who feel gaming taxes should be raised to solve them.
