Vince Vaughn is this year’s World Series of Poker Celebrity Master of Ceremonies. As such, the actor received royal treatment in his arrival Wednesday at the Bally’s Events Center in Las Vegas for the 53rd annual WSOP Main Event.
Dressed for the theme, the Wedding Crashers star was carried out to the final table by a full Roman Royal Court as he debuted the newly designed Main Event bracelet along the way. It made for quite the scene.
Wednesday’s event was the last of four $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em flights. Vaughn kicked off the event with a few words, including the “shuffle up and deal” announcement.

According to a Caesars press release, the bracelet Vaughn unveiled is custom created from 500 grams of 10 karat white and yellow gold and features 2,767 various stones, including rubies, and black and white diamonds.
“As Master of Ceremonies for the World Series of Poker, I couldn’t be more excited to play a role on the Las Vegas Strip by kicking off the biggest and most prestigious poker tournament in the world,” Vaughn said. “This is the Main Event and a World Champion needs an incredible trophy, not just some lousy ring.”
