Doyle Brunson may have helped hone his skills after the Olympics last year.  There were even some rumors floating around that Michael Phelps might become a part of Team Brunson.  It may still happen.  Who knows for sure?

What we do know is that he's still playing poker....and he's doing so in a big way.

Phelps is playing in the $2k buy-in Heads Up event today at the 2010 Borgata Winter Poker Open and apparently he's doing pretty well... at least when this story went to press.

WickedChopsPoker:

From what we can surmise, he lost to 9/11 conspiracist and rapper Jeff Madsen. Then in the loser's bracket, Phelps defeated 2007 NBC National Heads-Up champion Paul Wasicka. So now Phelps will be taking on the winner of a match between Robert Fikac vs. Adam Gerber sometime on Friday. We think. Pretty sure at least.
