Responding to allegations that those in the poker community do not have (or use) last names, iconic player and the man behind Doylesroom.com had this to say to Joan Rivers: 

"By the way Miss Rivers, my last name is Brunson."

Brunson responded to Rivers comments made on Sunday night's Celebrity Apprentice as she tore into fellow Apprentice and poker pro, Annie Duke.

"Annie Duke is kicking butt on the Celebrity Apprentice. She is definitely manipulating everyone but that's the game, right? Annie should be the winner which I think speaks well for the poker community. I think Joan Rivers is really out of line with her comments, not only about Annie, but the entire poker world. Joan looks like she is losing it and probably will be able to hide her own Easter eggs next year."

Joan Rivers daughter, Melissa, was fired by Donald Trump Sunday night, leading to a temper tantrum by both women.

In addition to blasting the poker playing community, Joan Rivers also called Annie Duke a "Nazi".  Her daughter blasted Duke as a "Whore Pit Viper".
