Damon made a speculative call with 10-6 offsuit before the flop – but when he flopped a full house, he almost jumped out of his seat.
Movie Rounders
Tobey Maguire wanted to take down Hollywood. Back in 2005, the “Spider-Man” star collaborated with a card cheat-turned-TV producer named Houston Curtis to create a regular poker game for themselves. Matt Damon and Edward Norton once fleeced Bob Weinstein and his disgraced brother, Harvey Weinstein, at poker.The pair employed cheating skills they learned preparing for Rounders, the classic. Total life earnings: $540. Latest cash: $540 on 19-Oct-2011. See Matt Damon's full profile. Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Adam Sandler and Tom Brady will all be participating in the tournament from the safety of their own homes, as will Jason Bateman, Tobey Maguire, Adam Levine, Bryan.

Damon checked, as did everyone else at the table. The turn card gave Damon the win, but he checked again and tried to slow play.
Scott Wilson, on a pair, bets $6,400, and Damon made it look like an agonizing call as Ben Affleck watched on.
Damon eventually called, but then checked again on the river expecting Wilson to raise. Wilson, who expected Damon was hiding something, simply checked and flipped his cards to discover Damon’s full house.
Some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment gathered online Saturday for a $10,000 buy-in charity poker tournament.
Online poker site Americas Cardroom hosted All In For Feeding America, which drew a field of 65 entrants, including many notable poker-playing celebrities such as Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Tom Brady, Sarah Silverman, Adam Sandler, Adam Levine, Jason Bateman, Jon Hamm, Cheryl Hines, Jason Mewes, Aaron Paul, Scoot McNairy, and John Krasinski.
The field also featured poker pros like Doyle Brunson, Jason Koon, Alex Foxen, Todd Brunson, Jeff Gross, Jamie Staples, Jon Pardy, Luke Schwartz, Mike McDonald, and Jeff Boski.
In the end, the title went to poker pro Ebony Kenney, who made fans by streaming the event and talking trash as she knocked out both poker players and celebrities en route to victory. Kenney eliminated Matt Damon, Phil Hellmuth, and Kevin Smith on her way to the final table, which also included the likes of Tobey Maguire, Bryan Cranston and poker pro Tom Cannuli.

Although Kenney came away with the win, she did not take home any of the prize pool, which was all donated to charity. After an additional donation from ACR, it is estimated that the tournament raised $2 million to benefit hunger-relief efforts in the United States.
