Not yet, but would really like to meet some of them, at the tables preferably.. Especially Lex, he seems like a cool guy to play the game with at the live table.

I met doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan. Doyle walked with a cane and was really nice. He offered 10000$ for the first royal flush. Then when I met Chan was in Vancouver BC at Johnny Chan classic tournament which was then BC poker championship. Which Daniel Negreanu won. Johnny Chan tipped the ballet 100$ for bringing the car.

I was playing in the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City around 2004 and saw Scotty Nguyen walk through the door. He had his famous black curly mullet, with a hot chick on each side. It was pretty cool. But no I didn't talk to him :)

If standing in line behind a pro waiting to order ice cream at a kiosk in a hotel counts, then yes, I've met Huck Seed. I have walked by several in the Bellagio, when I used to stay there, and I have watched the "Big Boys" in Bobby's Room at the Bellagio from about 20 feet away.
