We all know Ben Affleck , the attractive Hollywood Movie Star, as the dashing and handsome pilot in the “Pearl Harbor”, and also for his role in the “Armageddon”. Looks, fame and fortune - he has it all - not discounting all the female admiration. Bet on Poker like the pros at internet poker room at Ultimatebet.com.

It is believed that Ben Affleck started taking a serious interest in the game of poker betting after  good friend Matt Damon played the lead role in the poker betting movie “Rounders”. Ben had been a serious
poker enthusiast for a long time, but in order to know the game better he enlisted the help of a professional teacher. His first tutor in the game of Poker was Amir Vahidy, but he did not make any significant strides in the game under Vahidy’s tutelage. He was knocked out of the first tournament he participated in.

The next person to teach him the moves and guide him was poker pro Annie Duke, under her guidance he made significant improvements in the game and won the first place and 356,000$ in the California State Poker Championship in 2004. Ben Affleck defeated 90 poker professionals to win the title and to got himself acknowledged as a serious poker player and not just a celebrity who liked to play the game.

Ben Affleck is not alone in this newfound passion for poker among Hollywood celebrities. Affleck has joined this new breed of “Hollywood Poker Brats” for the first ever Celebrity Poker Showdown.
It is said that as a poker player Ben Affleck can be compared to Shana Hiatt, not because he is also a television persona like Ms. Hiatt but because when Affleck is at a table, over 90 percent of the people around agree that he is the “Sexiest Man Alive!”
