Phelps Makes Final Table

The world’s greatest Olympian, US swimmer Michael Phelps, is making good on his threat to bring his skills to the sharks of Las Vegas and the online poker world. Phelps, who had before been linked to online poker room Doyles Room, played in a $1,570 buy-in event at the Caesars Poker Classic and made it to the final table, a respectable finish for the poker novice. He cashed for $5,213. He’s been seen around Vegas with some heavy duty poker company as well, such as the Brunsons and recently showing up at the WPT Festa al Lago following Phil Hellmuth around.
