Wondering which celebrities who play poker have the best skills?\u00a0Casino Channel Network<\/a>\u00a0highlights the Top 10 celebrity poker players of our day and age.

Former husband of Pamela Anderson twice, Shannon Doherty once, and the man who had a little something to do with Paris Hilton. Rick plays in the biggest games all around the world. There is even a story where he won over 30 million over one session, and Pam Anderson had to sue him to get her share during their divorce.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You can see Rick playing on High Stakes Poker regularly. His method or attitude to poker and gambling, for that matter, makes Rick completely unpredictable at a card table. It seems as if money doesn\u2019t exist to him. When you don\u2019t value money and focus on trying to outplay and win hands, it can benefit you greatly from a strategy perspective. It\u2019s nice to have deep pockets.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

One of the biggest celebrities, actors, screenwriters, and directors of our time, Batman here is quite the hero in the poker celebrity community. He won the 2004 California State Poker Championship and is known for his poker prowess. Apparently, Ben has a tremendous mind as he\u2019s actually been kicked out of casinos in the past for card counting in blackjack. Luckily, however, he\u2019s allowed into the poker room.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Another huge celebrity, Matt Damon, starred in the best poker movie of our time, Rounders. Matt then went and played in the World Series of Poker to promote the film. He got knocked out by none other than poker royalty when his pocket kings ran into Doyle Brunson\u2019s pocket aces.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Everybody Loves Raymond star, not everyone tends to love him when he shows up at the poker table. A perennial player at the World Series of Poker, Ray uses his humor at the poker table to try and make you feel comfortable and take all your chips.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Best known for his supporting actor role in Ghosts of Mississippi, which he was nominated for. James is a tight but aggressive poker savant. Unlike his role in Casino, where he played the sleazy ex-boyfriend of Sharon Stone, always trying to make a buck the wrong way. James, in real life, is a graduate of MIT and maybe the smartest celebrity player of this day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
