Everybody who follows poker knows that Matt Affleck sports Seattle jerseys as a matter of course, and the style choice has become Affleck's signature on the felt.
James Routos, however, is just a football fan proud that his team has advanced to the Super Bowl, and he showed up here today wearing a Marshawn Lynch jersey in support of the Seahawks.
Affleck went old-school with his choice of attire - donning the duds of Seahawk legend Steve Largent in a throwback to the team's past playoff success - one night after winning the Six-Max event here for an $88,643 score.
Seated across the table from Routos, the sight of Affleck and his doppleganger playing together was something to behold, but unfortunately for Routos the table talk about their team's chances this Sunday will have to wait.
Routos was just seen at the registration desk firing away for his second bullet, which means he went bust at Affleck's table sometime during the fourth level of play. Affleck, meanwhile, sits just under the starting stack as he looks to make it back-to-back wins here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open.
