Matt Damon Antes Up for Africa

Matt Damon shows off his poker face at Ante Up for Africa’s poker tournament, held at the Rio Hotel and Casino on Saturday (July 3) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The 39-year-old actor took part in a celebrity charity poker tournament to benefit Ante Up for Africa, a nonprofit supporting Africans in need. Don Cheadle is one of the founders of the organization!

Matt‘s BFF, Ben Affleck, also took part in the tournament! On Friday, Ben dropped by the opening of a West Virginia casino club on Friday with wife Jennifer Garner.

Imagine how full of himself this guy is??? Living high on the hog without a care in the world. It must be good to be Matt Damon. Only if we could all be so lucky…

#6, you mean every hollywood star out there? Such BS. You’d think Damon would be on the bottom of that list of yours… he’s a real actor.

I HEART MATT DAMON.

jealous are you?

@to no:

Nope. If you read it correctly it is GOOD to be him, if ONLY we could all be so LUCKY. If anything, admiration…

Hmmm…twisting my words, are we? Rita needs to take an English class…

I would say with a mere 12 posts, he’s definately not AS popular as he once was…

#13, you obviously don’t understand how to carry a tone in your message because apparently, others agree that you sounded very negative. You say you admire him, yet you once again end with ‘he’s definitely not AS popular as he once was’. What are you trying to convey? Also, posts don’t mean anything, Kardashians get 30+ reply posts about their useless lives.

Matt is such a cool guy and all around talented. good looking hunk of a dude. I would love to count him as a friend (if he were single, I would definitely want to get with him). Guys like him don’t come along every day.

a boring actor with limited talent

Um… Ben Affleck was there and did play – I saw it on TV. Also, this is the first time Matt Damon was there without his sleazy, illiterate, stripper wife there crouching over a bar stool behind him – maybe his teammates didn’t appreciate the herpes vibe she gave off? Lord knows she wasn’t spending time with her THREE kids; two of whom were in LA and the oldest and neediest of whom was shipped back to Miami. Go Matt and Lucy – keep having as many kids as you can afford to nanny!
