Gary "Bones" Berland was a professional poker player that won five World Series of Poker bracelets.
Berland finished runner-up to Doyle Brunson in the 1977 World Series of Poker $10,000 no limit Texas hold'em main event, but did not cash, because at the time it had a winner takes all format, which was changed the following year at the 1978 WSOP. He also finished third in the 1986 main event.
According to Doyle Brunson, Berland died shortly after the 1986 World Series of Poker of a rare blood disorder. Andy - Las Vegas
