If you’re planning to try your luck at the World Series of Poker this you, you’ll be in good company, as a plethora of poker playing celebrities have already bought their seats.

Of course, there will be the usual WSOP fare, including Rounders star Matt Damon, as well as his partner in crime, Ben Affleck. Of course, a poker game isn’t a poker game without the likes of Jennifer Tilly. Former “Everyone Loves Raymond” co-star Brad Garrett will also be there, as well as Seinfeld legend Jason Alexander.

The Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon will be trying his luck, as well as rapper Nelly.

Ultimate Fighting celebrity-announcer Bruce Buffer will also be playing at this year’s WSOP.

Buffer, whose introduced the UFC fights since 1997, has lifetime poker winnings equal to a little over $278,000. And at the World Series of Poker 2010 main event final table Bruce Buffer was given the honor to start the final table with the poker phrase “Shuffle up and deal!”

“I played on Monday and again today,” Buffer recently told ABC News of his upcoming WSOP seat. “I’m here for the week. I’ve been playing poker since I was 14 and in WSOP since 2005.”

Probably the celebrity with the most game, however, is Affleck. He has won $356,400 lifetime with one 1st place finish. Want to sit alongside Affleck? Get all your WSOP satellites in Sports Interaction now.
