Thanks to everyone that sent good wishes and prayers over my operation for melanoma. Got an all clear from my doctor today. That was my 4th win against that cancer. Stood on the 91st psalm, my favorite.

Brunson, a two-time World Series of Poker Main Event champ, has had four bouts with cancer during his long life.
He also disclosed to his many followers that Covid-19 has been straining the hospital system.
"During check up with my doctor, he said our hospitals are so full people with elective surgeries are asked to postpone them."
Devoutly religious, Brunson believes strongly in miracles.
I've got a journal that shows 10 miracles in my family. One of the 1st was when 5 doctors gave me 3 months to live. That's 60 years ago. https://t.co/564NrQn6zj

When one of his followers suggested Brunson should be thankful to science and medical professionals, Brunson agreed to some extent but added:
"Obviously that was a key ingredient. I've seen too many miracles to dismiss God. Thanks however."
