It's Always Halloween at the Poker Tables

Poker players have often proven that you don’t have to wait until Halloween to get dressed up. Whether it’s a lost prop bet, something done to get attention, or Phil Hellmuth being Phil Hellmuth, you’re almost certain to see a player dressed in costume at one major poker event a year. With Halloween around the corner, we look back at some of the best costumes of poker players.

Jungleman is probably hoping that Flamingo left a deposit on durrrr’s head.

Daniel Negreanu dressed as Scotty Nguyen one year at the NBC Nation Heads-Up Championship. We all love Scotty, baby.

Tony G thinks your lack of skill is disturbing.

Merlin will make your chips disappear.

Can you really take anyone serious that dresses as Elmo at the table?

What’s creepier than someone roaming around a poker room in a Spider-Man costume? Stalking Phil Hellmuth in a Spider Man Costume.

Or maybe giving Spider-Man a piggyback ride.

Batman showed up to the Main Event a couple years ago. He didn’t last past Day 1.

Of course, he may have had other things on his mind. After all, the Joker was running around loose.

So was Harley Quinn.

Have no fear old chum. Robin is here!

Cheetahs never prosper…unless they are Tatjana Pasalic.

Remember when Shaun Deeb dressed in drag to play the ladies event? Some would contend he looks better this way.

Could you stare down this guy in a crucial pot?

Phil Laak was made up to look like an old man one year at the WSOP Main Event, and nobody noticed.

Everyone noticed when Kara Scott dressed up as a pink bunny.

And remember, no matter how bad things get at the tables, at least you’re not Phil Hellmuth wearing a baby costume:
