Damon And Affleck Gamble For Charity



Best pals Matt Damon and Ben Affleck faced off at the poker table on Thursday night as part of a charity event in Las Vegas.

The Oscar winners joined event host Don Cheadle and celebrities including actors Brad Garrett and Danny Masterson, and retired boxing champ Mike Tyson to help raise money for Ante Up for Africa.

The stars joined members of the public and dug deep into their pockets to join in the fun, handing over $5,000 as a buy-in for the gambling tournament, with all proceeds benefitting the ENOUGH project and Refugees International - organizations which aim to raise awareness and provide help to the survivors of war-torn Darfur in Sudan.

The results of the poker game had yet to be released as WENN went to press.
