World Series of Poker Champion Daniel Negreanu made a small cameo appearance in a scene in the blockbuster movie – X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where, playing himself, he plays poker with the mutant Gambit (portraid by Taylor Kitsch).

Negreanu was one of several poker stars, including Phil Hellmuth, that was invited to make an appearance in the movie and could fit it into his schedule on short notice.
