Matt Affleck is playing today's six-max event while sporting a fresh #3 Russell Wilson jersey. After his last hand moved him to more than double the starting stack, Affleck is emulating another Seattle Seahawk superstar in running back Marhsawn Lynch- powering through the competition and refusing to be taken down.

We watched Affleck open the pot for a raise to 700 holding the button, with the big blind the lone player to come along. On the {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Hearts} flop both players tapped the table, but when the turn card came {8-Spades} Affleck fired out a 1,000 bet after another check to him. His opponent flatted and the river came {k-Clubs}, prompting a third check to Affleck, who responded with a bet of 2,200.

His opponent tanked for thirty seconds before ultimately making the crying call, but Affleck tabled {A-Diamonds}{7-Spades} to take the pot down. We watched Affleck earn two or three more uncontested pots with preflop raises, and he now sits with more than 46,000 for a great start to his first tournament of the Borgata Winter Poker Open.
