Wheaton: Two-way Bust-out

Wil's in the Caribbean for a PokerStars Event, but unfortunately, he and teammate Greg Raymer have busted out, according to the Official PokerStars Blog. His AK was spanked by both pocket Aces and pocket Cowboys. What is it with him and Kings? He was once given the nickname "Hamlet" because his Kings kept getting killed. Oh well. At least he got a vacation in the Bahamas with his wife, which isn't a bad consolation prize at all.

But hark! Apparently, an audition Wil blogged about a while back has paid off, and he snagged a part in a movie called "Americanizing Shelley." His character is "Director Alan Smithee," which film buffs will recognize as the credit directors sometimes take to distance their good names from a project they're not too particularly proud of, or that the studio has cut so severely that he/she feels their original vision has been trashed. He'll be co-starring with a certain Beau Bridges, who currently helms Stargate: SG-1, a BP favorite. Congrats to Wil on his return to the big screen after a three year hiatus!
