April 2019 in Kansas City at the RunGood Poker Series, Sam Simmons, who at the time was the CEO of PokerGo & Poker Central, sat down next to me in a special bounty tourney where poker pros and members of the RunGood team had envelopes for their bounty. Sam was one of them with an envelope. I had a chance to KO him when he was getting shortstacked and went all-in with KQo to my right, and I called with A10o and had about 2.5x more than his stack. No one else in the hand, but he hit a K and doubled up through me. I was out about 30 minutes later when someone else KO'd me. He was a pretty cool guy. That's the closest to a poker celeb that I've played live against.

I only recognize the pro on the left. The recreational on the right completely alludes me.

Not personally, but a Friend of mine when to a Tournament in Newcastle and was sat next to Jimmy White (Snooker World Champion) and there was a Bounty on Jimmy's head for £100. My friend took a couple of pots away from him , but at some point Jimmy was moved to another table (Table Balancing) and was taken out by another player just about 15 minutes later.

 

[VVi10]

[dreamer13]

No, I haven’t, for an ordinary player there is a chance to play on pokerstars, but to do this you need to win a gold package, a ticket for $10,300 for 0.50 cents, but it’s difficult.

 

[RhinoRyan89]

played with majority of the team pokerstars pros in there Home games

Only with very good professionals, however, it is not as famous on the national/international scene. I would love to play at a poker celebrity's table.

I once played with a regular on the old Windy City Poker Show. As close as I've ever been.

Cheers!
