Michael Phelps Gets Asian Poker Tour Invite

Michael Phelps Gets Asian Poker Tour Invite

Friday, 22 August 2008

Michael Phelps revealed this week that he is a huge poker fan, with an ambition to add a bracelet to those lovely bits of Beijing bling. With that in mind, the Asian Poker Tour (APT) has written him an open letter inviting him to play in the APT Macau next week.

The second leg of the Asian Poker Tour in Macau kicks off on August 27th, finishing on August 31st and offers a guaranteed prize pool of US$1,500,000 with the first prize of US$500,000 the largest to date in Asia. Should he wish to join up, Phelps would be in exalted company, including poker greats such as Doyle Brunson, Todd Brunson, J.C Tran, John Juanda, Kenny Tran, Nam Le, Quinn Do, and Steve Sung. While Phelps is untouchable in the pool, he would have his work cut out at the poker table when surrounded by those poker sharks.
