Ben Affleck?

I heard from the grapevine that he played in last night's highest step game on Party. He took 4th from what I remember hearing. Anyone know if this is true and if it is, what is his screen name? The only reason that I think it might be true is who else has the bankroll to get into one of those games? I am sure that there a few 2+2ers that have the dough to play, but not the bankroll.
I remember seeing Hoyt Corkins(hoytcorkins5) sitting there all day. Did he play in it? Is it the real Hoyt Corkins? Rojosox, did you get in? What place did you take?

How would anyone know if it was Ben Affleck? Would, if he played, actually come out and say, "hi, im ben affleck" ... doesn't make any sense. A couple of names in that tourney I didn't know who they were. I think that QQ / AT hand / 99 might haunt me for a bit. The What If's just run rampant through my head, if an Ace didn't hit, would I have ended up being in the $$$? Jared

A few minutes after it ended I happened to open up the WSOP step 6 that was waiting to start and gbertell that got 2nd place was in there chatting with one of the guys... apparently he started with step ONE the day before... played 1 and 2 that night, and then 3 and 4 earlier in the day yesterday...

If he's telling the truth, that's pretty crazy... $30k

John Malkovich took 7th.

Yeah, but I went through the hole on the 7 1/2 floor and played his hands for him.

He faked his death so he could get in more SNGs per day?

It's not that funny. Ben Affleck won a major tournament at Commerce. Barry Greenstein thinks he is pretty good.
