Whilst just last week we saw how Liv Boeree enjoyed the time of her life during a well deserved break from the poker scene, Doyle Brunson will wish he would have stayed at home after a flight to forget.
Just when you think that poker playing legends lives are what dreams are made of, we are sometimes reminded that they are simply normal people that experience many of the same day to day issues of most of us.
He was flying out to Montana to get a bit of rest and recuperation after another long and tough poker calendar especially the World Series of Poker and was obviously extremely looking forward to it.
Off to Montana all by myself. Family coming in a week or so. Major R/R, I feel like I really need it. The WSOP and cash games wore me out!

However, a mix up at the airport meant that his airline had managed to bring along the wrong plane, meaning a long wait and an even longer walk.
Eff Allegiant Airlines. Brought the wrong plane, 2 hour wait. Freaking leg, had to walk a mile, hurts like hell

Allegiant is cheap, but it is the only non stop flight into Kalispel. It has always been on time, but this sucks

After the long wait he finally managed to get on the plane and would have felt that his day was about to get better, yet unfortunately for him that was not going to happen. His plane was roasting hot and to make matters even worse he was wedged between two rather large women on the plane.
On the plane after a 4 hour wait. Stifling hot with no air at all. Allegiant , please lose my phone number

I’m seated between 2 ladies that weigh 300 lbs each. Such wonderful memories after this flight!

All we can say is that every cloud has a silver lining and that we are sure that once he has landed things will go better and he will get that relaxation that he craves. We will certainly be awaiting his tweets of pure bliss…hopefully!
