After winning his record breaking 8th gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Michael Phelps declares in an inteview with the NY Times that he wants to win the World Series of Poker!
QUOTE:
An avid cards player, Phelps said it would be cool to participate in the World Series of Poker. “My game is a little off right now,” he said, “so I’ll have to start improving it a little bit.”
If Michael Phelps ends up owning at poker like he does at swimming, wow. WSOP brackelet, WPT title, EPT title, maybe even 8 titles in a year!
