Ben Affleck Wins California State Poker Championship

Nice. Ben Affleck won the California State Poker Championship - a No Limit Texas Hold'em event.

In a brief speech, Affleck said he got lucky and complimented Goldstein [Stan Goldstein (Los Angeles, CA)] as a great player. Afterwards, he said he was also pleased that he didn’t win by just sucking out and showed he wasn’t a “complete donkey.” He indeed had the best hands when he knocked out Pacheco (5-5 vs. Ac-Qc) and Goldstein (J-J vs. Ad-10d).

Affleck won $356,400 and a $25,000 seat in next April’s Bellagio / WPT championship event
