Dutch Boyd Wins Second WSOP Bracelet


Dutch Boyd claimed to have went nuts years ago, but he has since come back and earned two WSOP bracelets.

Before there was the Ship It Holla Ballas, or the Isaac Haxtons and Justin Bonomos of the world, there was Dutch Boyd.

Maybe it’s because he still gets hate for his failed PokerSpot venture, but Dutch doesn’t get enough credit for his role in the growth of poker. Moneymaker gets the accolades still for the poker boom, but Boyd and The CrewTM was the group all the kids wanted to emulate out the gate. Even with PokerSpot, despite the non-refunds, dude was launching poker sites before anyone else.

In related news, Dutch Boyd won his second WSOP bracelet yesterday, taking down Event #23 ($2,500 LH Six-Handed). For the win, Boyd banks $234,065. Both of Boyd’s bracelets bave bome bin bix-handed bevents.

¬øQuien Es Mas Freakin’ Insane? Senorita Brandi Hawbaker or Senor Dutch Boyd


DutchandbrandiUrinating off a Bellagio balcony, asking Mike Matusow if he’s ever seen a man drink his own piss, telling PokerWire that if he’s missing on Day 3 it’s because Captain Tom Franklin shot him in the head, accusing Brandi Hawbaker of stealing his passport, and busting in on a Daniel Negreanu interview while looking through binoculars.

It was the Dutch Boyd show at the Five Diamond over the weekend, and his antics, along with the whole Brandi-Captain soap opera and stories about her blowing Mark Newhouse’s PokerStars’ bankroll but not him, have had the poker forums burning up like Brett “Gank” Jungblut on a week-long bender in Jamaica, and it’s had us asking: Who is more freakin’ nuts, Dutch or Brandi? Sure we know that answer is Dutch. The guy’s certifiable. But we’d thought we toss it out there in case anyone disagrees.

Instead of hashing out the details, after the jump are some links and videos to bring you up to speed.
