Taking Work Home With You

Mekhi Phifer
Mekhi Phifer
Despite being on his "off time," the cameras seem to follow Mekhi Phifer wherever he goes. Any time he enters a pot, it seems like the ESPN cameras are there ready to capture the action. The "ER" and 8 Mile star can't go more than a few minutes without a photographer stopping by to take a few shots of him. It doesn't seem to be affecting his play though as he currently sits well above average with about 54,000 chips.
