The No-Limit Hold'em event will broadcast in an 8-episode series on CBS Sports from June 17-July 22, 2006. <o></o>

You don't have to be a world champion to go head to head with the one and only Doyle Brunson. Check out the Bounty Tournament, the only online tournament in the world where players can step up and play against the man himself.<o></o>

Where's the line? Who's the chalk in that field? Brunson? Chan? who?

These top pro players are laughing all the way to the bank.

GOOD LUCK DOYLE......represent USA proudly.

I hope Doyle is the first one out.

4 favorites, a slight step down, and then a big drop down

Lebanon...Sammy Farha<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
