The Best Celebrity Poker Players
There has been a lot of actors, musicians and other celebrities getting into poker over the last few years. I decided to put together a list of some of the best celebrity poker players that have emerged recently.
I guess that this all really depends on exactly who you want to consider a celebrity. Some people consider Gabe Kaplan from Welcome Back Kotter to be a celebrity. If that’s the case, he has certainly become pretty successful in the poker world so he should be on the list. If you are from Finland, you may have already known Patrick Antonius as a male model before he started playing in the world’s biggest poker games.
So all quasi-celebs set aside…here are some of the best celebrity poker players out there.
- Matt Damon
- Shannon Elizabeth
- James Woods
- Ben Affleck
- Tobey Maguire
- Sully Erna (from Godsmack)
Here is a few people of honorable mention. I’m not gonna put them into my “Best players” category, but I’m also not about to put them on a list of the worst celebrities. I’m just gonna give them credit for showing up.
- Jason Alexander
- Pamela Anderson (Although I’m pretty sure I know which category she would fit into)
- Orel Hershiser
- Jerry Buss (Owner of the L.A. Lakers)
This blog entry was originally called “The Best and The Worst Celebrity Poker Players”. I thought it would be easy to come up with a list of celebrities who are terrible players, but I could really only think of a few people who definitely deserved to be on the list. Since most of them were either pro athletes or UFC champions, I thought that a side note would do just fine.
Feel free to nominate someone to the list in the comments section below.
