This was Paul Pierce playing yesterday in a $1500 Hold ‘Em event. He was rocking is big old championship ring trying to impress his fellow players and let them know Dallas ain't the only champs around.
“I think poker has really helped me develop patience and
that helps me in everything I do in life,” Pierce told PokerListings.com
during a break from the tournament action.
“It helps me on the basketball court, to be more patient and to be
more of a thinking player and to be smarter out there,” he continued.
Maintaining a low profile, with sunglasses and a hoodie pulled low
over his face, Pierce told us he was thrilled to be playing on poker’s
biggest stage.
“I’ve been watching the World Series and I’ve seen how the games roll
and how exciting it is and I’m just trying to be a part of that,” he
said as he stacked the chips won in the last hand before the break.
If you got the money to spend why not try your luck at a poker table? I'm sure he has plenty of down time to try and buff up his game.
