Rich Eisen from Sportcenter playing 2/5 NL
He was hilarious and so was his writer
He also lost his stack to me with his tens as an overpair to my pocket aces

Kirby Puckett played some 20/40 Stud at Canterbury a few times - bear in mind this was before the harassment scandal - after the retirment, when we were calling every other goddamn street Kirby Puckett Blvd. -

What do people in Minnesota think of Kirby now? It was weird seeing him at the hall of fame inductions.

I played $15/30 stud against Kirby Puckett about four years ago.

Some well-known poker players I've played against: Greg Raymer, Jack McClelland, Jim Brier (didn't know it was he until later), Denny Axel.

It's like he never existed. People just don't talk about him anymore. Instead Kent Hrbek is the go to guy when reminiscing about the good old days. Herby has a TV show, does advertisements, etc...The Puck on the other hand, not so much.

Last year on Thanksgiving weekend I was at the Horseshoe in Tunica and Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz came to play.

Some name dropping for ya...

Played 4/8 with 70s movie psycho David Hess. He was losing and seriously pissed off. I don't think he had to "act" much to play the roles he did.

Routinely saw former Celtic Cedric Maxwell playing stud at Foxwoods. Saw former ECW owner/manager Paul Hayman twice. Saw Tom Vu at the Mirage on Thursday and I almost [censored] my pants.

Played 10/20 with Buddy Williams, the handicapped guy from the season 1 WPT Tunica episode. Nice guy.

Saw Evelyn Ng at McCarran Airport in Vegas. Met Phil Gordon at Foxwoods...

If you play a lot in the big rooms in Vegas you'll see famous players fairly frequently. I've spotted: Hansen, Seidel, Todd Brunson, and a few others... but I've done enough name dropping already.

Jay and Silent Bob, 5-5NL Foxwoods. Pretty sure i saw David Ortiz at Foxwoods at the rainmaker entrance, but i was mildy intoxicated.
