Billionaire Warren Buffett plays charity poker, goes broke quick
OMAHA, Nebraska: Warren Buffett, billionaire investor and avid bridge player, took less than 45 minutes to go broke in a charity poker tournament.
"It's different than bridge," said Buffett, 76, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. "I was confused. I thought the low score won."
He was among 50 amateur, celebrity and professional players who competed in a Texas Hold'em poker tournament Thursday night.
The tournament celebrated a recent $5 million renovation of retailer Borsheims, which is owned by Berkshire Hathaway.
Donations from the event benefited the Nebraska Make-a-Wish program.
Players included Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps and professional poker players David Williams, Evelyn Ng and Michael Mizrachi. They competed for a $3,500 watch featured in the new James Bond movie, "Casino Royale."
An amateur player from Omaha won the watch.
