Poker legend Doyle Brunson isn't exactly happy with last year's World Series of Poker main event winner, Peter Eastgate.

Eastgate is a 22-year old professional poker player from Odense, Denmark, and the youngest WSOP main event winner ever (he collected a cool $9 million plus last November). 

Doyle Brunson, on the other hand, is a 76 year old living legend of poker...practically the game's appointed king. 

Brunson's fury comes after the two were scheduled to appear in a photo shoot together for USA Today.

"Eastgate can kiss my butt!" Brunson wrote on his Twitter page Tuesday.  "I slept 4 hours to be on time."

Eastgate was a "no show". 

So Gambling911.com decided to trek on over to Peter Eastgate's Twitter page.

In all fairness, Eastgate Tweeted how guilty he felt about the snafu.

"Bad start on my day. Overslept a photo shoot. Feeling really bad and gonna make sure to apologize to Doyle when I see him."

Awww....He's still going to get reamed.  And unfortunately we won't be there to see it.
