Todd Brunson, son of the living poker legend Doyle Brunson, has been quite active on Twitter lately. A few days ago, he was bored and asked his followers to ask him questions.

I think you shouldn’t think he is lying when saying we won about $25 million, he isn’t saying how much he lost, this doesn’t mean this $25M are the total of profits of his career. And that bad beat, that sure is a bad beat, straight against full house, and, worst of all (hate when it happens to me) beaten on the river. His was worst because of the amount in question. $2M, gosh…

Yeah, really sick and inevitable. As comparison should ask him, how many $ he won with hit nut ? look like he had luck in poker like his father. But I never saw him had high rank at WSOP. Is he good at MTT ? or just ring game ?

2 million on one hand! Hard to believe this type of stuff takes place. Wether I had 25 million in winnings I guess I'd be just like him in remembering that hand. Just sick!
