[Final update:
The Doyle Brunson arrest story is indeed forum bs as NWP guessed. Nothing like a good lie to cast a negative pall over an already dark subject, that being poker and its players.–Ed.

[Update: Bluff Magazine just left a post on this NWP thread saying:
We just spoke to a very close friend of Doyle’s who has not heard anything to confirm the rumor. Additionally, Howard Lederer has not heard a thing and he thinks he would have if it was true at all!

We are dealing with an unsubstantiated report that poker legend, Doyle Brunson, has been arrested. Details are sketchy and the rumors flying about have not been verified. Apparently the original source came from downunder site pokernetwok.com. The NeverWinPoker.com crew is reporting a usually trusted source is reporting the cuffing may be factual. And the 2+2 thread is tracking the rumors while everyone waits for confirnation or the exposure of well crafted gotcha. We’re following the various threads here in Las Vegas Vegas Poker Central along with Bill’s Blog.com as we all wait for those in the know to wake up and step up. As this ‘bullentin board flash’ wears on into the day without proof the likelihood of any truth to the rumor becomes much less likely. Stay tuned…
