Celebs at the World Series of Poker

The World Series of Poker isn't just for civilians. Several celebrities -- from the A-list to the D-list -- were among the 8,000 participants in this year's event, which kicked off last Friday at the Rio in Las Vegas. Spider-Man himself, Tobey Maguire, had no problem coughing up the $10,000 entry fee.

Shannon Elizabeth is a serious poker player, but she'll always be known for her role in 'American Pie.'

Ron Jeremy appeared on 'The Surreal Life 2.' We also hear he's some sort of film star.

Jennifer Tilly, who has appeared in such films as 'Bound' and 'Liar, Liar,' was the 2005 Ladies World Series of Poker champion.

Model and actress Joanna Krupa, who has appeared in FHM, Maxim and Playboy and in 'Scary Movie 4,' couldn't take her eyes off the cards.

Spider-Man wasn't the only superhero in the house. Dean Cain, who played Superman on the small screen, entered the event.

Would you really want to get caught bluffing former heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis?

Actor Norm MacDonald was one of the few poker players who eschewed the white iPod earbuds.

Something tells us 'ER' and '8 Mile' star Mekhi Phifer didn't have a good hand.

'Everybody Loves Raymond' funnyman Brad Garrett was thrilled when Phil Hellmuth, who's won 10 WSOP bracelets, was eliminated on the second day of the first round of the tournament.

Dax Shepard appeared on the MTV hit 'Punk'd.' Something tells us this isn't a guy you'd want at your table if you're into reading poker faces.
