In December, a high-stakes $30,000 rake race will play out on the virtual felts of DoylesRoom, a USA-friendly site on the Cake Poker Network. Players who sign up for DoylesRoom rakeback through PocketFives.com will be eligible to participate. While you’re vying for your slice of $30,000, which is guaranteed to be paid out, you’ll also be racking up 33% rakeback and clearing a 110% up to $600 sign-up bonus. In the process, PocketFivers will compete against members of our family of rakeback sites.
DoylesRoom features 10-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Doyle Brunson at its helm and proudly accepts players from the United States. Its marquee tournament is The Bounty, which plays out every Wednesday at 9:30pm ET featuring members of the Brunson clan and others taking to the felts with money on their heads. This week, pros in The Bounty will be Doyle “Tex_Dolly” Brunson, Todd "TBRUNSON" Brunson, and Pam "PAM BRUNSON" Brunson. It’s an all-Brunson melee on a Thanksgiving week.
Here’s how The Bounty works. First, it’s free to play if you’ve never taken to the Wednesday tournament before. Just buy in and DoylesRoom will refund your investment win or lose. Knock out one pro bounty and you’ll bank $1,000. Knock out two bounties and you’ll earn a rock solid $10,000. Finally, taking out all three bounties in the field will net you $50,000. If you can bust the elder Brunson with his signature 10-2 hand, you’ll see an extra $5,000 come your way and the tournament’s winner also banks $500 in DoylesCasino chips. The Bounty has a $27.50 price tag.
Starting on Sunday, December 6th, the Cake Poker Network’s weekly feature tournament will see its guaranteed prize pool boosted from $100,000 to $125,000. The event will set you back $162 and the festivities kick off at 5:00pm ET. Cash, Gold Chip, and freeroll satellites are all available to win your way into the six-figure guaranteed contest. On the final Sunday of every month, which in November takes place this weekend, the Network hosts the
$250,000 Guaranteed, which boasts a $268 buy-in. Next month, mark your calendars for December 27th.
Besides “Texas Dolly” and his family, Hoyt Corkins, Mike Caro, and members of the illustrious
Brunson 10 front the online poker room. The Brunson what, you ask? The Brunson 10 is a handpicked group of young online poker superstars selected by Brunson himself. A total of 10 males and two females (a play on Brunson’s 10-2 hand) will be chosen and the group currently features five pros, all members of the PocketFives.com community: Chris
moorman1 Moorman, Amit
amak316 Makhija, Alec
traheho Torelli, Zachary
CrazyZachary Clark, and “2 Months, $2 Million” star Dani
ansky451 Stern, who joined during the 2009 WSOP in Las Vegas.
Moorman (pictured at right), a former number one player in the PocketFives.com
Online Poker Rankings, sits in the top five at the time of writing. He owns a record-setting eight Triple Crowns on the site, an accolade that requires winning three $10,000 prize pool tournaments across three sites that are tracked for the Rankings in the span of a week. Moorman’s largest online poker cash to date came in August, when he chopped the $322 No Limit Hold’em with Rebuys event held during the 13th Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) for $204,000.
In mid-November, DoylesRoom rolled out
synchronized breaks, following the lead of other major online poker sites. Now, players on the USA-facing room will receive a five-minute break at 55 minutes past every hour. The new feature came to fruition as part of a recent software update.

DoylesRoom today to take part in our richest rake race ever on the site. $30,000 will be paid out!
