Gabe Kaplan was a stand up comedian before he was an actor, and an actor before he was a poker player, and even though most poker players know him as a player and commentator, it is to his stand up roots Kaplan returns to take part in the Spotlight 29 Casino’s All-Star Poker Weekend.

In addition to providing laughs along with Murray "The Unknown Comic" Langston, Kaplan will be playing cards as well. Other big names will join in such as Football Hall of Fame inductee Deacon Jones and UFC Champion Ken Shamrock. The event gets underway on Friday, October 12 at the Spotlight 29 casino.
