Default Run in with the pros!

I was wondering if any one has had a run in with a pro, either online or live.
The last time I went to Vegas was during the 2004 WSOP. We saw Annie Duke playing 3 card poker. I also saw Ahmer Vahidi walk out of Binions and do a couple of laps up and down the street, looking none too happy. Probably after he got busted.

But the best was when I was playing low limit at the Plaza, and Clowie Gowen was sitting at the table behind me playing NL holdem. She was talking to everyone around. She was a really friendly person. And just as hot as she is on TV And yeah, she was cleaning up.

Anyone else have similar stories to share.

The only one that I know that I played against was Tom McEnvoy in a cruise ship final tournament. He was playing at my table for about a half an hour.

I have chatted with a few pros online, like Tom McEvoy during his Sunday heads-up tournaments on PokerStars and I have said a "hello" and "good luck" to Chris Moneymaker. I also talked for a couple of minutes during a break in a tournament with a pro that I now can't remember. I don't think he was a big pro, but I had heard his name before.

On full tilt all the pros are availible to chat with. Since so many people are observing when the top pros play they cant carry on significant conversations, but Ive asked them a question or two before. Of all of them Matusow is obviously the most talkative, and most responsive to questions, as long as they aren't about his prison time.

Me and my friend saw Raymer at Foxwoods in Connecticut, after his WSOP win on $1/$2 NL.

I ran into Dan Harrington once at Foxwoods. He wasn't playing at the time, but it was a day before the WPT event there. Just saw him walking around, I thought it was pretty cool.
