Michael Phelps wins big in Vegas.

There's no stopping Michael Phelps’ winning streak - even on dry land.

The all-time Olympics record holder for most medals came up aces in Las Vegas this week - raking in $100,000 in a single poker game, TMZ.com reported.

Phelps, fresh off his six medals at the London Olympics, hit Caesar’s Palace last weekend for the fateful game, according to the gossip site. The 27-year-old then proceeded to spend some of his winnings at the Tryst nightclub in the nearby Wynn hotel - where Prince Harry played a round of strip billiards a few days earlier.

To the victors go the spoils: Phelps, who finished his Olympic swimming career with a record 22 medals, partied with his budies in the Maldives before hitting Vegas for an encore. He’s also dating a stunning model worthy of an 18-time gold medal winner: 25-year-old Megan Rosse.

Phelps will be soon trading his Speedos for a golf club in an upcoming reality show. Phelps will learn from Tiger Woods’ old coach, Hank Haney, on “The Haney Project.”

The article is pretty vague. Don't know if he was playing cash or tournament or what but the pics look like a tournament so idk.

Anyone heard anything more about this?

It was a cash game. $100k is a lot of weed and Subway.

FYI

He made a public statement on twitter and said "I wish it was true"

[Crowe Diddly]

They talked about this on the 4 pokercast, and the 1st comment under the story sums up what they were talking about:

1) The poker table (in the picture) is from Harrah's Atlantic City;
2) The chips are non-value daily tournament chips;
3) Caesars Palace Las Vegas doesn't have any poker games big enough for anybody to win $100K;
4) Phelps tweeted to deny the story

[Dan Druff]

I don't believe it.

Also, what are with these chips? They look like they were purchased at the 99 cent only store.

Charder appears in one of the pictures, too.

Read the comments below the article. They are hilarious.

[peter mcneil]

Any reasonable estimation what kind of net worth Phelps has?

[SrslySirius]

Phelps denied this on Twitter IIRC.

This story is pretty old, but I just heard it listening to the old radio podcasts from 2012 (I'm working my way through them as I drive OTR.) And I can corroborate these comments by what can be seen in the pics.

How so? I played over there for about 6 weeks in 2009, and grew to hate the place, in part for the uncomfortable poker tables and chairs.

While the padding on the edge of the table is wide, the cupholder for a drink/bottle is offset to the right of where each player sits, which cramps up room for your arms unless you sit off center in the 1, 2, 9, and 10 seats. Also, while the chairs LOOK nice, their passing is too firm, and the chair legs don't have wheels. To slide them toward or away from the table requires you to lift them up because the leg bottoms don't slide across the carpet. That made sitting in those chairs very uncomfortable after sitting for any length of time.

That and the action at Caesars and Borgata at the 2/5 tables was way better around that time.

Someone should at least walk him to the corner, Animal House style, to sit with spartan, herbert stemple and anonamoose.
