Ben Affleck and Matt Damon Ante Up for Africa

There’s a huge resurgence of awareness among Hollywood celebrities regarding the deplorable conditions in Darfur and Sudan. And Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are doing something about it.

The “Good Will Hunting” buddies were spotted hamming it up on the red carpet at the Ante Up for Africa poker tournament at Las Vegas’ Rio Hotel and Casino last night (July 2).

Ante Up for Africa is a No Limit Texas Hold-Em tournament put on by the World Series of Poker. And all of the money raised will benefit survivors in Darfur and Sudan, and will also fund efforts to end the crisis in Africa.

Mr. Affleck looked to be having a wonderful time, sporting a green “Ante Up for Africa” button-up shirt and jeans, while his “Bourne Ultimatum” actor pal went for a black polo shirt and jeans.
