The most decorated Olympian of all time, Michael Phelps, appeared at the 2018 World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The WSOP is the biggest poker series and always attracts stars with different professions apart from the usual poker professionals. The tournament takes place in the Rio Hotel and Casino in Vegas. Phelps took the $ 3,000 Six Max place.
Of course, the players were happy and took selfies with the 32-year old. Michael Phelps will celebrate his 33rd birthday on June, 30th.

Phelps also made an appearance at the 2017 Annual World Series of Poker where he was entered in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em tournament and donated any winnings to his Michael Phelps Foundation.
No wonder his house if for sale.
Because he played in a WSOP event?
Good for him poker is a fantastic happy
Go Mike . Take em down !
He must be bored out of his mind to go to that.
If he was bored out of his mind he would have returned to swimming by now.
What are you talking about? He does that every year. His best friend and best man Jeff Gross is a professional poker player. He knows most of those people including the guy in the picture, Phil Hellmuth. The article made it sound like it was a fan selfie. These men are friends.
I can’t wait till my 33th birthday… How many Olympic golds do you need to get one of those?
Glad to see e is enjoying life. SO HAPPY for this amazing athlete. He can do so much good for our sport by staying in the public eye.
