Last year at wsop, I got to meet our own Ryan Laplante, Mike Sexton, Anthony Zinno and sat next to Scott Stewart during the Colossus. I recognized many faces thru hallways but it was crazy in there in between events.

Phil Helmuth

I don't play live poker very much but I did see Phil Helmuth at a Oakland As baseball game. They had him throw out the first pitch. He got booed by the crowd.

 

[Poker Orifice]

Quite a few. My favorite would have to be Gavin Smith (RIP). This was actually the sober Gavin.
A close 2nd would be Brad Booth.

 

[adridog]

[mioou2011]

I try to play tight and do not bluff

[Joe1]

I had Daniel Negreanu online at my table in the tournament, one of my favorite players

 

[jt2oux]

Back in 2007 when Full Tilt was big I went to WSOP and met many of the Full Tilt Pro's and got a few autographs.

 

[an9312]

[01461958]

pro

i haven t meet a pro.......but i would love to meet one.
i have so many thinks to ask him for.

 

[MicroBratt]

Yeah I just got back from the borgata winter open, was playing in the $400 buy in 100K GTD and sure shit who sits to my left was Joseph Cheong. Really nice guy, I did hold a conversation with him a few times, prob was at my table for a few hours. Good experience for me as i'm not a full reg player by all means. It's cool to see how they act and play even knowing these buy in's are on the small side for them and being super aggressive is I guess normal.

 

[skoldpadda]

Um, there are like 5 bracelet winners in my local home game... so, yeah.

 

[blata8ruga]

have not but I would love to meet negranu or ivey, actually any pro would be great though.

 

[Pocemon12]

I've never met, but would really like to meet Negreanu. In my opinion, this is the coolest poker player.

 

[Andrei Korolev]

No...

 

[FrothyGoodness]

Met Money Maker when he came to Hollywood Casino years ago. He was pretty laid back. It was early in the morning so not a lot of tables were going, he answered a lot of people question but mainly everybody gave him enough space to play ended up getting in a decent sized pot with him but he mainly folded a lot

 

[Marac43]

Not yet

 

[CRStals]

I was lucky enough to meet Mike Leah and Parker Talbot "tonkaaa" earlier this year and saw Antonio Esfandiari and Kristen Bicknell

 

[TheSeaWizard]

Twice I had JohnnieVibes at the table in a $5/$5 cash game.

I know he used to play $5/$10 NLHE but the casino I played in got rid of it. :\

 

[Madzapzay]

Got a pic with hellmuth at the aria once.

 

[FIERROS]

Not yet, but in the future maybe.
​

 

[maksonios]

Not yet, but I hope that I will.

 

[muse713]

I have not, but I would love to meet Phil Ivey or Lex

 

[ACEWOLF56]

Been to Antonio Espandieri, Robl, and Dan Bilzarians house, but all on business. Robl was super nice and humble. Antonio was so disappointed when I played it off like I didn’t know who he was (just didn’t want to freak out), but then turned around and introduced himself. He’s the same guy on and off TV. Bilzarian was never home, but I met his brothers, super cool guys.

 

[FanatsLV]

Never met any pro in my life till now probably I will in future
