this must be done in honor of a huge poker player, who offered enormously many positive things for fans, players, televisions, family, friends and strangers. Doyle Brunson deserves much more.

a great gesture they made for the passing of this great player, like everything in life you should always do that, a moment where we think about the meaning of life, at that moment they thought about this great player.

This is necessary for every star in any field. A last respect is very necessary because is human and whoever has time can go to his grave. I suppose that in America many people will do it.

its good to honor him that way ,. he deserves this honor . for sure he will be remembered , he is the godfather of poker after all , his contribution to the poker game is sth that it is accepted and recognized by everyone . he is one of the very few guys' who was loved by far too many , i do not believe he had many enemies , at least at the poker world

A nice gesture from the entire poker room and the poker community to remain silent before the tournament started, a token of appreciation for what this player did and has done for many years in poker.

these things must be done because every high-value player must be respected, but also the smaller professional players. Death is inevitable and moments of silence must be taken.

That's right, death can surprise us at any time, the most important thing is to be able to do good in this world, this player has set a great example as a poker player, his career is very clean, a player to be imitated by all.
