If you ever wondered why Doyle bets the gutshot. . .

Doyle Brunson met his future wife Louise in 1960, and they married in August 1962. Louise became pregnant and later that year, he discovered a tumor in his neck. When it was operated on, the surgeons found that the cancer had spread and declared it incurable. They felt that an operation would prolong his life enough for him to see the birth of their baby, so they went ahead with it, but after the operation, no trace of the cancer could be found.[2] The doctors said that his recovery must have been a miracle, and Brunson has attributed his recovery to the prayers of friends of his wife.[3] Louise developed a tumor shortly afterwards, but when she went for surgery, her tumor was also found to have disappeared. In 1975, their daughter Doyla was diagnosed with scoliosis, but her spine straightened completely within three months.
