Doyle Exits DoylesRoom; the Latest on Black Friday

            Since the U.S. Department of Justice handed down their indictments on April 15^th, a lot has been happening in online poker, especially for U.S. based players. One of the most prominent casualties of this crackdown in America is the exit of legend Doyle Brunson from his own website, DoylesRoom.com. It is believed his exit from the site is an effort to try and distance himself from online poker, in case the Federal authorities decide to expand on the current indictments.

            He said, “Reluctantly, I have decided to terminate my endorsement contract with DoylesRoom.com,"

            "It pains me to leave at this time. I have aspirations of reentering the online poker business when the United States government passes legislation that officially legalizes online poker sites. DoylesRoom management has decided to continue to serve U.S. customers.

            "Although they believe they have the right to market the name DoylesRoom and to use my name and likeness for a period of time, I have asked them not to. Good luck. Shuffle up and deal.”
