Who is the most famous person you seen play poker at a casino?

Gus Hansen at the 2005 VC Poker Cup

Wife played 1-5 stud with Jack Black

Oct 2001 New orleans. Before poker was "cool"

(he was killing time waiting for an omaha seat)

From a table away, I rember thinking, wow that dude looks just like Jack Black. My wife struck up a quick conversation with him.

WIFE: Hey your jack black.
JB: Yes I am
WIFE: I saw you on the VMA's, you were very good.
JB: Thanks
STONER DUDE IN SEAT 5: So you like, a movie star? What have you been in?
JB: (names some obscure movie)
STONER DUDE IN SEAT 5: Oh, never saw that, have you seen demi moore naked?

i was playing two tables away from the $2-$4K game when i was in vegas in feb. chan, harmon, hansen, ivey (eatind his dinner off a room service trolley) and forrest were all there at different points throughout my stay.

I've played here in Vancouver with Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) and Jason Mewes a few times. Also ex-NHL star Pavel Bure. A guy people claimed was Roman Abramovich played an entire blackjack table at $500 a hand next to me once also, but I doubt it was really Roman Abramovich, just some russian dude.

[TylerD]

seems like low stakes for Roman Abramovich.

Played 4/8 with Pat Reily at Harrah's New Orleans. Fun times.

I've played against a noted poker authority.

Yeah, hence my doubt. He was in town at the time, so I think people were just assuming every rich russian dude might be him.

I played at the make believe tournament table being filmed for the Today Show to feature Johnny Moss and his 80 something birthday. Unfortunately Johnny fell asleep at the table. I don't think it ever aired.
