Ben Affleck should probably stick to acting.
The 35-year-old actor lost $400,000 on a single poker hand and didn’t pay up to the movie mogul who won the pot, Star magazine reported.
“Ben busted big," one player told Star. "He drummed up a giant tab, and then all of a sudden he disappeared from the game. He wasn't seen for months."
The big winner was Universal Pictures president Ron Meyer, the man behind the “Bourne” series starring Matt Damon, Star reported.
Other regulars at the underground Hollywood poker games reportedly include actors Tobey McGuire, Leonardo DiCaprio and Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez.
A rep for Affleck called the report "Complete garbage. Made up and lacking any real sources."
