Online Poker Room Targets Michael Phelps
While some online poker rooms have offered to pay the way of 2008 Olympian Gold Medalist Michael Phelps into the 2008 World Series of Poker Europe, one poker room went so far as to send their founder to meet the young swimming superstar. Doyle Brunson, along with his son Todd Brunson, was seen schmoozing Phelps in Las Vegas recently before the World’s Greatest Olympian hit the clubs on the strip. Phelps has 16 career medals, 14 of them Gold, and holds the record of 8 gold medals won in a single Olympics.
