Alex Rodriguez Dragged Into Ruderman Poker Scandal


Alex Rodriguez allegedly played in the now infamous Ruderman LA home games. He didn't bring gf Cameron Diaz though.

Alex Rodriguez has a history of playing underground poker games in New York.

Now, he’s getting dragged into the celeb LA Ruderman poker scandal.

Star is sensationalizing reporting that A-Rod played in the game on at least two occasions. Copy & Paste:

Poker pro Dan Bilzerian told Star how the slugger’s first foray into the elite poker circle quickly turned into a fiasco.

That game was hosted at investor and record label owner Cody Leibel’s $16.5 million Beverly Hills mansion, and cocaine was openly used.

Bilzerian revealed that a fight nearly broke out when Leibel refused to pay after losing more than a half million dollars.

Along with Blizerian and A-Rod, Rick Salomon and Kenny Tran (among others) were also playing the game.

So…yeah. Read more about A-Rod’s poker scandal here.

Best part of radar’s article:
“Star has chosen not to disclose the name of the person using cocaine but can reveal that others at the game included Rick Salomon, and Kenny Tran, a professional poker player who won the 2008 World Series of Poker, according to Bilzerian.”  

… poor Peter… forgotten again
