Doyle Brunson is still kicking himself over an offer he didn't accept over a decade ago.

The poker legend recently took to Twitter to reminisce how he rejected a $230 million offer for a poker site, that carried his name - DoylesRoom.com. According to Brunson, he and his associates turned down the deal in the hopes their site would be worth much more than that someday.

However, after the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) came into effect, their site became "worthless," Brunson revealed:

Be sure and include a certain person who turned down a $230,000,000 offer for a card room that had his name on it. In one day, it was worthless. This person who had a 50% ownership has recurring nightmares about it.😩🤢😲 https://t.co/r3VGUlN2jp — Doyle Brunson (@TexDolly) 13. helmikuuta 2018

DoylesRoom.com was sold to Americas Cardroom in 2011 for an undisclosed amount, leaving Brunson and his business partner (who had a 50% stake in the company) kicking themselves for turning down the earlier nine-figure offer.
