Talk about obscure, I played with Robert Curtis Brown in a $1-2 at the Mirage. He played Todd in the movie Trading Places and was in a couple of the High School Musical movies among the 148 acting credits he has on IMDB. He played pretty solid and was very nice and kind of surprised that I recognized him. So was I but he just looked familiar.
Also played with boxer Bobby Czyz in the $1-2 at the Hilton in AC a while back. He was pretty drunk and loose....just the way that I like my women.
Played with Jamie Gold (who hasn't) at the Trop in Vegas when it was his room. He was very nice and played very loose. I think I got it in ahead and lost a relatively small pot to him.
I also saw Manute Bol walking through the Taj during a fight night back in the 90s. People were following him around like the pied piper as it's pretty hard to miss a very black 7'7" man in a burgundy leisure suit.
