Down the road the two of them traveled by way of Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma taking component in bigger games and meeting other professional bettors like Sailor Roberts and Amarillo Slim. Dwayne Hamilton departed the team after a while and left the other 3 who for the following six years bet on almost every thing. Then they made a journey to Las vegas and lost it all. That split up the partnership however the 3 stay friends even today. Doyle Brunson resides in Las vegas.
