Matt Damon -
Ben Afleck and himself are reported to play in these invitation games of Texas Hold’em at luxury hotels. The information about Matt Damon being a poker player came to light in 2011. Matt Damon is reputed to be in the games Brad Ruderman started. Ruderman is not a great guy as it turns out. Rather, he took money invested into a hedge fund he managed and played poker with it. He has been held on counts of embezzlement. Gabe Kaplan and other actors have been named in lawsuits. Afleck and Damon are perhaps too big to name or like rumours suggest they just didn’t win at the tables so they didn’t take home any of the embezzled funds. It is reported Damon started gambling due to playing lots of gambling roles in films.
