Played with J.A. Sucker's avatar at this year's WSOP main event for 4 hours before he busted out. Also saw all the usual suspects as far as poker pros. Ran into Tobey Maguire away from the tables.

i remmeber my brother telling me how zach won with a full house on the river, but the guy had a pretty good hand to, and it was only one bet on the river.

zach said something like "man i knew i shoulda gone for the check-riase"
my brother said something like "nah it's easier that way"

i couldn't believe he never said anyhting about him being in rage. my brother and i listened to that band for so long, i so would've said "you provided me anger for 7 years, thank you."

A lot of posters are listing Poker Pros. That shouldn't count. Of course we've all seen poker pros play if you spend any time at all in a Casino. So my choices don't include them.

Arod and James Woods although you might argue that Woods is a poker pro since he plays so much now but he's really famous for his movies.

I played 5-5 pot limit hold em with Alex Rodriguez, when the Yankees were in the town against the Brewers, I picked up pocket Kings potted a bunch of limpers, and only A-rod and I saw the flop. The flop came A high and I bet $50 into an $80 pot and took it down.
Edit: FWIW, he played just about every hand that wasn't reraised before him, he made quads with 84s.

A woman I swear was Macy Gray at Ceasars Indiana during the Derby weekend a couple years back I was pretty drunk and I sat just as she was leaving (only 4 hands or so), but the look and voice are hard to duplicate

You bastard.
Now I have to go get some Q-tips to squeegee the coffee off my keyboard. Also, my office mates now think I'm a moron for spitting coffee at my computer for no apparent reason.
Thanks a lot.
