He's one of the richest men in the world, a shrewd investor that knows a bargain and can make those that follow his advice very, very wealthy.
But get him in a game of Texas Hold em or Five Card Stud and the investor is a dud.
Warren Buffett, who with Berkshire Hathaway has long been the gold standard of investments was eliminated after fourty five minutes of action at a charity poker tournament in Omaha, Nebraska.
Known for his world class bridge playing, Buffet found the poker action a tad bewildering and was quickly sent to the sidelines with his charity stake evaporated. The night's action gave the world an opportunity to view a headline that they aren't likely to ever see again anytime soon: "Buffet goes broke", put that on the financial pages and you have the makings of the next Great Depression.
Put it in the entertainment pages and it's good news for the Nebraska make a wish foundation.
