The World Series of Poker has been known to have famous faces take part, from Ben Affleck and Toby Maguire to sports stars such as Neymar Jr. and Michael Phelps. But what celebrities would stand the best chances of winning should they enter?

Traders at Casinos.com collaborated with in-house poker experts to formulate an index score for the ideal poker face. This formula was applied to a collection of 2025’s most trending celebrities, where they were then ranked highest to lowest.

This ranking also opens the door to some interesting "what if" scenarios in the poker world. Imagine a final table at the WSOP featuring De Niro, Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, and Leonardo DiCaprio, all masters of bluffing.

And with their media training, they might thrive under the pressure that would unravel even the seasoned pros. Let's see how we listed these handsome poker faces.

Here’s our full ranking:

Rank	Celebrity	Facial Neutrality	Eye Steadiness	Composure & Confidence	Deceptive Appeal	Total Score /100
1	Robert De Niro	25	23	25	24	97
2	Kendrick Lamar	24	24	25	23	96
3	Tom Hardy	23	23	24	22	92
4	Taylor Swift	18	21	25	24	88
5	Leonardo DiCaprio	20	22	25	21	88
6	Drake	23	21	23	20	87
7	Pedro Pascal	19	20	24	22	85
8	David Beckham	20	22	24	19	85
9	Sabrina Carpenter	17	20	23	25	85
10	Brad Pitt	20	23	24	17	84
11	Timothée Chalamet	21	22	23	18	84
12	Lewis Capaldi	22	19	20	21	82
13	Rory McIlroy	18	17	22	15	72
14	Prince Harry	16	18	22	14	70
15	Ed Sheeran	14	16	18	12	60

Taking the number one spot for the best poker face is none other than Robert De Niro with an astounding score of 97/100.

The star of the 1995 classic ‘Casino’ is proving that his skills are not only for the big screen.

Missing out on the top spot by just one point with 96/100 is Kendrick Lamar. The U.S. rapper is on an incredible run after dropping the platinum album ‘GNX,’ followed by his Super Bowl performance that garnered hundreds of millions of views across streaming platforms.

Lamar has recently been a part of a very public feud with Drake, who also made our list with a high 87/100.

Tom Hardy rounds off our top three with a poker face score of 92/100.

The British actor, well known for his roles in ‘Venom,’ ‘Peaky Blinders,’ and ‘Bronson,’ shows that his acting skills would translate well to the poker table, according to our experts.

Way down at the other end of the rankings, Rory McIlroy comes in at number 13 with a poker face score of just 59/100.

Former world number one may have spent over 100 weeks at the top of the Official World Golf Ranking but his expressions are far easier to read than a bunker shot on a windy day.

Following closely behind is Prince Harry, earning a modest 56/100.

Despite years in the public eye, the Duke of Sussex isn’t quite ready for a career at the felt, at least not without giving away a few tells.

Lastly, Ed Sheeran’s poker face scored 53/100 but that hardly came as a surprise.

It’s clear the 'Thinking Out Loud' hitmaker wears his heart, and his hand, on his sleeve.
