Michael Phelps just took a tough beat that knocked him out of the tournament. He got it all in good with A-K against K-Q, but the board ran out A-J-rag-8-10 to make his opponent a straight on the river. Phelps will miss making his second final table at the Caesars Palace Classic.
Michael Phelps is having the best time of anyone in today's field. A constant stream of laughter has been coming from his table in the corner of the tournament room. He is definitely enjoying his poker experience after four years of training.
With 11-time WSOP gold bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth leading as host, 14-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps entered the Fontana Lounge and immediately got the attention of nearly everyone in the room.
After telling the same bad beat story one too many times, Phelps turned his attention to others in the room, such as actor James Woods.
