Brunson Halfway There With His Magic 10

Doyle Brunson has reached the halfway mark in his appointment of the Brunson 10 by adding Alex Kamberis to the team of next generation superstars. Twenty three year old Kamberis has accumulated over $4 million in his short career and has already held a stint as a bounty player at Doyle’s Room. Kamberis reached the top of CardPlayer’s Online Poker Player of the Year rankings in 2008 by collecting over $1.5 million and followed that up by bringing home a cool half million in 2009.

Doyle Brunson is clearly delighted to have the youngster on board:

““I’m really excited that Alex has decided to come on board. He’s a real class act, just a real nice kid, and he’s the type of player that makes us all look forward to the next generation of poker players.”

Below we take a quick look at the other four players picked so far:
