Yes, now famous players can always play with them, it's very easy if you have at least 109 dollars, you will already meet a lot of players who play there and they are very popular, or if you play satellites and go for 109 you will see many famous players. Good luck if you want to meet them, you can do it

Just once I remember, I came across the table of "SinKarma", a professional player from Spain, it was a couple of years ago, I won a ticket on a satellite for a 500K Tournament on PS... obviously he kicked my ass lol...but it was fun.

Sometimes I play with different streamers in tournaments, but I don't know if they can be called famous players. But if we talk about world-class players, I've never played, first of all, in my opinion, you need to play tournaments for $1000 or more and then you will definitely see them, but to play in these tournaments you need to be a millionaire or a poker professional who has reached these limits.

I've already played with two for the pokerstars player, for some reason they were playing at micro limits I think it was a youtube sit in go challenge for one dollar and believe me for 50 cents too

No never, I don't play high stakes or big events. I just play for £5 or £10 for the fun and social side.

Hello friends, have you ever played against a celebrity or professional player, I remember that pokerstars organized Latin American Poker League, and once made a freeroll, where several Latin American pros players played, Angel Guillen, Marene, Leo Fernandez, etc, well I was lucky, to share the table with Humberto Brenes, the Costa Rican player, a very good player and very friendly, the table was really fun, we made a lot of jokes with shark Brenes, in addition to many questions about poker.

Yes, in 2023 I played a satellite to the SCOOP at the same table with a player from the PokerStars team. It was a player with the nickname "peaceandlove". He played silently, so I didn't ask him anything. And I can't say that his play was outstanding. I took a few chips from him before I was moved to another table. :)

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 once played $109 Fenomeno at the same table as Spraggi and knocked him out of the tournament. He had to re-enter.. In that tournament we were both able to get the prize money.

Unfortunately, famous players do not enter the limits where I play, and if they did, there would be no chance of taking the first place at all.

I was luck enough to play for about 8 hours with Shaun Deeb in a WPT main event once. One hell of a experience playing with one of the top players in the world. At the wsop in 2019 I got to play with Vivian Saliba, Almost took her out on a date too.................. umm OK i almost took her out of the tournament. Dam river but if you ever meet and play with he he is all class and really was nice.

I think I just played against peace&loove, a pro player of PS. He uses to play micro BI sats, I guess that he does it for the streaming, idk.
