Biggest Poker Celebrity You've Met?

phantomjiujitsu · Apr 27, 2019

About 3 years ago I was drunk and stumbling along the busy vegas strip and I bumped into Eli Elezra. I stopped him saying "HEY YOURE ELI ELEZRA!!" His face lit up, he smiled real big and shook my hand. I'm a guy that grew up in Kansas so seeing celebrities is always a big deal for me.

What's the biggest poker celeb you've ever met?

I was taking a pic of me and Humberto Brenes and I held the camera up and instead of snapping a pic I turned it off

didn't realize it till he was gone

I took pictures with lots of pros and 90% of them were of horrible quality.

my camera was crap and my skills were worse

The most star struck I’ve ever been was when I played against Dan Harrington in the wsop main event at what turned out to be one of the funnest tables of my life. I first started taking poker seriously when I read his tournament series back in college, and he is such a genuinely warm and smart person. Was a very full circle moment for me when Harrington (jokingly) complained to Collin (they’d met through their book publisher before) about me check/raising him all the time. Such a fun day on the felt that years later it feels kind of more like it was a dream haha

I'm pretty sure I ran into T.J. Cloutier at the Winstar Casino in Oklahoma.. He denied that he was.,... But he lives in Texas so it wouldn't be impossible that it was him. Sure looked like him.

TheDude6622 · Oct 4, 2019

Chris Moneymaker. He had special poker tournament at the casino here and played it. During breaks he was meeting everyone and taking pictures with everyone. Just an awesome tournament.
