WSOP Event #12: Doyle and Todd Brunson In Top 10
Day 2 of the $10,000 Mixed Event had many casualties, including Daniel Negreanu, Scotty Nguyen and others. Meanwhile, the Brunson family had a great day, as both Todd and Doyle are amongst the top 10 stacks.

wandering around the remaining three tables of the $10,000 Mixed Event,
telling anyone who would listen the bad beat story about how he was
just knocked out of the $2,000 NL Hold'em event. The key words of his
story rang through the nearby ears, "So sick," "obviusly he sucked out" and "so unlucky."
Vitaly Lunkin was the last player to hit the rail before Day 2 came to
