Sporting yet another Seattle Seahawks jersey as he dives into the thick of this Borgata Winter Poker Open, Matt Affleck seems to be riding a rush on the felt just like his beloved team has on the field.

As the Seahawks prepare to square off against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl, Affleck is moving closer to claiming a title of his own here today.

Affleck just busted James Carroll - a longtime tourney pro with an impressive record who entered the day as the second-biggest stack - when his {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} prevailed over Carroll's {A-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Carroll was all in before the flop for about 110,000 and Affleck called quickly with big slick, finding himself well ahead of a dominated ace-high hand. The final board rolled out {2-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} to keep Affleck out in front, and he claimed the rest of Carroll's stack to push above the average stack with the final table in sight.
