Like we said, there are a bunch of celebs here for the WPT Invitational and many of them have some sort of history with televised poker already. Included in that bunch is one Mekhi Phifer, who you may remember from such blockbusters as "8 Mile," "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Puff, Puff, Pass." He has also become a regular on the TV hit series ER, which has been playing in prime time on NBC since 1983.

Phifer is a known poker-playing celebrity and has appeared on the infamous "Celebrity Poker Showdown," hosted by poker pro Phil Gordon and Dave Foley. He also came out for last year's WPT Celebrity Invitational.

We have some other sightings to bring you guys, so keep coming back here for more live updates.
