More Details Emerge About A-Rod's Illegal Poker Habits

By Michael Lopez

We're sure you've heard about the celebrity gambling scandal brewing out in California. Stars like Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, and more have been tied to a series of illegal poker games. And now more details are leaking about A-Rod's involvement and the cocaine-filled nights he spent playing high stakes Texas Hold'Em.

According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, the games Rodriguez played in were held at a posh Beverly Hills mansion. Drugs like cocaine ran rampant and there were even some aggressive confrontations among the players. One tense incident allegedly involved A-Rod, though he quickly backed off when things got heated.

"He didn't want to deal with [the confrontation] at all. He was like, OK, whatever. It's your game," an unnamed source said. "I would estimate A-Rod lost, like, a few thousand dollars that night. After everything that happened, he paid-up and left."

Another interesting story to emerge involved a steamy affair between Rodriguez and one of the game's organizers, Molly Bloom. As expected, A-Rod's spokespeople have denied everything and issued a statement on his behalf.

"Mr. Rodriguez has not participated in these poker games," Alex's rep Richard Rubenstein said. "I am not prepared to comment any further about alleged sightings."
