Most sportsbooks out there that are offering props on the 2007 World Series of Poker like to offer one pitting poker legend Doyle Brunson against his son Todd Brunson in the $10,000 main event. Bodog is no exception and has the younger Brunson listed as a slight favorite at -140 to go further than his famous dad in the main event. The Texas Dolly is current listed at Even.

So who really does have the advantage in the WSOP main event, Doyle or Todd? Well, Doyle has more experience in the big show, having won it twice and also holding a record 10 WSOP bracelets. Todd has never made it all the way in the big one and his WSOP jewelry collection consists of only one bracelet.

Not only does WSOP history seem to favor Doyle, but so does the present. Neither father nor son made it to the money in the main event last year or in 2005. Doyle had a good run in 2004 though, finishing 53rd overall out of 2576 players. Todd failed to money that year, meaning Doyle would have been the winning pick on the prop bet.

To find Todd’s last WSOP main event cash, and actually his only WSOP main event cash, you have to go all the way back to 1992. Todd came 13th that year out of a much smaller field of 201 players.

The only advantage that Todd seems to have over his father is age. Doyle is getting up there at 73 years of age, while Todd is only 37 years old. Don’t let Doyle’s rising age fool you, though. He’s still a methodical poker player that last won a WSOP bracelet in 2005 and could easily make it to the final table in the main event, with a little of the old Doyle Brunson luck.
