Hellmuth: Blaine won't play poker with me

2008-07-29 15:02:47

David Blaine may be a master of card tricks, but that does not mean he is willing to take on poker legend Phil Hellmuth at a game of Texas hold'em.

The magician told the Poker Brat that there is no way he would play him on the felt because he would lose no matter what the result, Hellmuth wrote in his Card Player blog.

"I will not play poker with you because if I win, then I'm a cheater; and if you win, then I'm a bad magician," Blaine remarked.

The two met at a birthday party for Dr Dement, a scientist who pioneered research into the treatment of sleep apnea.

Hellmuth revealed that he suffers from the condition and claimed that Dr Dement has probably added over a decade to his lifespan.

Other celebrities afflicted with sleep apnea include William Shatner, Billy Connolly, Rosie O'Donnell and Johannes Brahms, according to a post on the Apnea Support messageboard.
