Poker pro Doyle Brunson has made his allegiance in the race for the presidency known, and has firmly stated his intention of backing Barack Obama to win the battle for votes.
It may be because Mr Obama himself is well known to be a poker fan and rumour has it that he may be more amenable to lifting gambling laws than his predecessors.
In a blog in February, Mr Brunson wrote: "I am on this race for president like stupid is on Britney Spears. I have come to the conclusion that poker players have to support Obama.
"We can't possibly let McCain be our President because he supports most of George W Bush's views. Hillary has lots of experience but I don't think she is ready to lead our nation."
After Mr Obama rallied in the polls a few weeks later, Mr Brunson added to his blog: "It looks like it is going to be Obama vs McCain for President. I think Obama is a cinch to beat McCain where if Hillary was the candidate, it would have been a coin flip.
"Obama's base is too strong for McCain which is a good thing. God help the internet gambling business if McCain does happen to win."
While poker fans are clearly on the side of the Democrats for obvious reasons, some basketball stars seem keen to have the US' first black president.
NBA star Greg Ogden has made his support for Mr Obama very public.
