I'm gambling with Matt Damon

Gulfstream Park's racing season is over, but actor Matt Damon still had plenty to do at the racino Saturday, according to a release from officials there. Matt%20Damon%20%26%20Scott%20Poole1.jpg Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, and guests played the horses via simlucasting, and had their picture taken with poker room manager Scott Poole. Damon, 38, has plenty of gambling connections: * He starred in Rounders, Oceans Eleven, Oceans Twelve and Oceans 13. * He played in a $10,000 buy-in Texas Hold ‘Em tournament at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas and has played since. And 1998 started his pedigree: He was knocked out in the first round by Doyle Brunson. Damon had kings; Brunson aces. * He also made a funny video with Sarah Silverman, but that has nothing to do with gambling.
