Who has the X-Factor for Doyle Brunson?

Poker Legend Doyle Brunson is hunting for the next generation of poker talent.

The new campaign is called The Brunson 10 and Will Griffiths, the new vice president of global marketing for Doyles Room takes the place of Simon Cowell which I guess must make Brunson Cheryl Cole?

Brunson and Griffiths is currently recruiting players under the age of twenty five who are “achieving at the highest level, and who have potential at becoming future legends.”

The first three members of the 10 member group are Alec Torelli, Amit Makhija and Zach Clark. In the coming months the final seven players will be selected and announced.

Zach Clark commented on making the 10 by stating: “it’s definitely just such an honor to be selected by them as one of the 10. I’m definitely going to try and live up to it.” Torelli commented “It’s really cool that it’s very exclusive. One of my big concerns about signing with a site was because these days, what’s another pro with a website? Everyone’s a pro on Full Tilt or Stars. It’s so diluted, that being a pro on a website isn’t really something you aspire to — not to say that the pros are bad or that the deals aren’t great for them.”

Doyles Room revamped the site some time ago and now they are rebranding the Doyles Room name to focus on the next generation of poker players. It will be interesting to see who the other seven players are that will make up the group of 10. Hopefully the group will be able to bring Doyles Room to more online players and make the site even more popular than it already is.
