Gambling911.com can reveal that poker pro Phil Hellmuth is working hard behind the scenes to get Olympic gold medalist swimmer and now poker player Michael Phelps to join him at UltimateBet.com's Aruba Poker Classic this fall.

"I just talked to Michael Phelps and he says he is fine after he totaled his SUV," Hellmuth disclosed. "(It was a) minor injury, no worries. Trying to get Michael Phelps to go to Aruba!"

Hellmuth has been hanging out with Phelps quite a bit these days as the two are participating in Shaquille O'Neal's new reality series.

Phelps could be enticed enough to attend the Aruba Poker Classic, a popular annual tournament featuring rock star celebrities, Celebrity Apprentice runner-up Annie Duke and World Series of Poker bracelet record holder Hellmuth.   The main reason is that Phelps has been dabbling in poker and hanging out with some of the big name players over the past year. 

This year, as part of UltimateBet's 10th anniversary celebration, the Main Event winner could take home an extra $10 million just by qualifying through UltimateBet's STEP tourneys.

Best of all, you might even get to meet Michael Phelps.
