Dani “Ansky” Stern Announced as Newest Member of DoylesRoom.com’s Brunson 10
22-year-old star of popular poker television series and consistent winner at the online poker tables is the fifth member of The Brunson 10
Las Vegas, Nevada – November 9, 2009 – The Brunson 10, Doyle Brunson’s team of elite poker pros, is now half complete thanks to the addition of a full-on star. DoylesRoom.com has confirmed what’s been widely speculated this past week. Dani “Ansky” Stern, a leading high-stakes online poker player, is the fifth member to join The Brunson 10.
Stated Doyle Brunson, “I’ve seen Ansky play on TV, I’ve seen him play online, and I’ve seen him talk poker like someone who’s been playing for decades. Dani “Anksy” Stern is the future of this game and I’m proud to have him on my team.”
Poker players and technology fans will recognize Dani Stern from the popular G4 television series, 2 Months, 2 Million. The show featured Stern and three other online poker players attempting to win $2 million playing online poker over a 2-month period as they lived a lifestyle that online poker players envy.
But Stern’s success is a lot more than just typical Hollywood smoke and mirrors. At just 22 years old, Stern has accomplished a lot playing online and in live tournaments, raking in close to $1 million in tournament winnings alone. That value does not include money won playing cash games.
At the 2009 WSOP, Stern finished strong in the second event of the series and won nearly $550,000. At the online poker tables, Dani Stern has performed consistently strong and is well respected for his in-depth poker knowledge.
The Brunson 10 originally launched with three members – Alec Torelli, Amit Makhija and Zachary Clark – all of whom began their poker careers online and achieved enormous success at live card rooms as well. In September, DoylesRoom.com scooped up Chris Moorman, a champion online poker from the UK.
With Stern’s addition to the team, there are five spots left on The Brunson 10. Doyle Brunson, poker’s biggest legend, will continue to handpick members for his group of young, elite poker players who are all on board to help bridge the gap between old-school poker and the new world that exists online.

Doyle Brunson Inducted Into Athletics Hall of Fame of Hardin Simmons University
Poker legend finally gets recognition he deserves half a century later
Las Vegas, Nevada – October 14, 2009 – Doyle Brunson has been recognized as poker’s biggest legend and one of the best professionals to ever play the game. But it’s today’s acknowledgment from his alma mater that has Brunson feeling like a gold medal champion. After more than half a century of waiting patiently, Doyle Brunson has been recognized by Hardin Simmons University for his impressive list of athletic achievements on both the track and the basketball court.
Brunson’s achievements include a third place finish in the Border Conference meet during his freshmen year and a number of other impressive track and field finishes. He was also instrumental in helping HSU to win the basketball Conference championship for a spot in the NCAA Division I playoffs. Brunson scored 412 points and was the only HSU athlete in any sport to be named the MVP of the Division I Border Conference.
Doyle has long been recognized by his peers as one of the university’s best athletes but his involvement in poker prohibited him from being inducted into the Hall of Fame due to the university’s deep religious roots and strong stance against gambling.
However, with poker chips and playing cards becoming as ubiquitous as textbooks and laptops on college campuses across the country, poker has achieved the type of mainstream popularity that no higher learning institution can ignore.
In fact, the acceptance of Texas Hold’em as a social game of skill can be attributed to Doyle. Brunson, a legend who is widely considered the Babe Ruth of poker, is credited with bringing the game from the smoky basements of yesteryear to HD television sets in living rooms across the globe today.
Doyle Brunson will be officially inducted into the Hardin Simmons University Athletics Hall of Fame on October 16. For more information on Doyle Brunson, visit DoylesRoom.com.
