Mr. James Garner to Officially Kick Off 2006 WSOP

We're an hour away from the start of Day 1A at the 2006 World Series of Poker, and we just heard in the media center that Mr. James Garner, who's most famously known for being Mr. James Garner, as well as the actor who played Brett Maverick on television 40 years ago, will have the honor of making the official "Shuffle Up and Deal" announcement to officially kick off the 2006 World Series of Poker.

In other Mr. James Garner news, or better yet, in a Wicked Chops Poker "Like You Were at Snake's Table in the Media/Celebrity Poker Tournament Yesterday Moment," Mr. James Garner walked up to Snake's table and humbly introduced himself to Penn Jillette, saying "Hello, I'm Jim Garner."
