Yes, Doyle, Louie Anderson Just Raised: Celebrities Flock to World Series of Poker Main Event

Here's something that might've been overheard while walking around the halls of the Rio at this year's World Series of Poker main event:

"Was that Ron Jeremy? I just saw Lennox Lewis - How can you miss him? - duck into the bathroom. And that guy from Everybody Loves Raymond, Brad Garrett, he's over at table No. 7. And right over there is Toby Maguire; he's hiding his face.

Also, Laura Prepon and Danny Masterson, those That '70s Show kids, are here, and so is Chris Masterson. He was on Malcolm in the Middle, I think."

At least the large presence of Hollywood stars gave the professional players people to ogle. Some of the stars were sponsored by Internet sites (Jeremy was sponsored by NakedPoker.com), while others were there on their own.

A short list of the stars includes Shannon Elizabeth, Robin Tunney, Louie Anderson, Norm MacDonald, Sully Erna (Godsmack's lead singer), Roger Cross, James Garner, Mimi Rogers, Jennifer Tilly, Denny Crumb (former basketball coach at the University of Louisville) and Joanna Krupa.

It's well-documented how the poker bug has invaded Hollywood, and Celebrity Poker Showdown might be the biggest show on television that nobody claims to watch (we know you do). It seems that the world's largest poker stage was too hard to resist for those who make a living in front of the world.

It's a good thing they're famous, as none of the stars made the money.
