Actor Wil Wheaton Makes the Money in Online Poker Tourney

From time to time Hollywood actors make the effort to remind the rest of the world that they are "just like everybody else." Even superstars worry about paying bills, getting old, and walking the dog - and they play poker. Some of them play a lot of poker, making a name for themselves in the poker world as they did in the world of television and movies. One such actor, who played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: Next Generation, is Wil Wheaton. Wheaton has spoken a lot about his poker journey on his own online web site so perhaps it is no surprise to hear that he participated in a recent event in the World Championship of Online Poker. During the Pot Limit Omaha Eight or Better tournament Wheaton made it to 70th position, taking home a payday of $742.71.
