He must have been holding a weak hand.

During a poker tournament on Thursday (presumably Las Vegas because that’s where he lives) Jose Canseco said that his damaged finger fell off onto the felt. Last month, the former MLB slugger accidentally shot himself in the finger while trying to clean a gun.

It’s unclear if Canseco, 50, was under the gun in the poker tournament when his finger fell off.

Canseco’s representative told CNN that they have a video of it on the table and that they may try to sell it to media outlets. Another player apparently took the video.

Here are Canseco’s Tweets.
