Only name that comes to mind from that time from Italy that was prominent on TV was Dario Minieri. He was hyper-aggressive, and always wore a scarf, and Norman Chad would refer to him as the Harry Potter of poker because of the scarves. Was it him?

Yes, he was it. The candidate gets the full points ;) Thanks!

I played in a wsop Circuit event one time against a guy who had won a bracelet event at the WSOP. I can't remember his name, but he was wearing the bracelet at the table and another dude at our table recognized him. Seemed like a nice guy, too.

"Jesus" Chris Ferguson back in the day when he did his bankroll challenge on Full Tilt. I miss those good ole days in the US when we had more than 2 or 3 sites. He was super nice and chatted with the folks at the tables.

I was hoping to play against a well-known player, but unfortunately, we were assigned to different tables in the tournament.

I met a german pro once in an online rebuy mtt (micro stakes)...and he went allin with every hand..so after some time i started calling (only with good hands of course)..and i got his stack about 3 times...he did not care and payed for my chips.
My guess was, he was maximum tilted..but who knows.
I never heard from him again until recently he won a big tornament.

Today I played in a satellite on pokerstars and at my table there was a player marked as a professional player, but I saw this player’s nickname for the first time!!!So to answer your question, I can say that I played with a professional player, but whether this player was a big celebrity, I cannot say!!!

I wasn't that lucky (or unlucky), I never got to be at the same table as a famous player

No , I could have since I saw Patrik Antonius playing on a VIP cashgame table in Vienna but I would have needed to take a bank loan lol.
He bought 20.000€ worth of chips with his black mastercard like I would with 20€ xD

Until now I have not been able to play with a famous player, I hope that one day I will be able to achieve that.

I never played with big names. I sometimes played with Twitch streamers. There was a price on his head but I couldn't put him down...
