Poker Pro Phil Hellmuth Throws First Pitch At Oakland A’s Game
UB.com poker pro Phil Hellmuth this week spent time with players from the Oakland A’s. His mission: Teach them how to play Chinese Poker.
But actually Hellmuth was there to throw out the first pitch at the Oakland A's game vs Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night.
"Please do not look like an idiot and bounce it up there, or moon-ball it and get booed by the fans!" Hellmuth writes on his Facebook as part of the photo caption.
Hellmuth has been seeing stars of late, hanging out with Michael Phelps last week and then former President Bill Clinton. He also hung out with Adrian Peterson, Roy Williams, and Larry Fitzgerald.
Of his future plans, Hellmuth writes: “On September 11th and 12th I will be hosting a $1 million free roll poker tournament for MGM Resorts International VIP's at the amazing Aria Hotel and Casino. The VIP's will have a chance to win a free $1 million in cash! I will emcee the event, and provide free signed books ("Deal Me In") for all participants. Then I fly to London for the WSOPE (World Series of Poker Europe) for a few weeks.”
