Perlmutter buys into celebrity poker game

DENVER -- Ed Perlmutter: Congressman, superdelegate – card shark?

The 7th District Congressman will join actor Ben Affleck and professional poker players Tuesday night at Coors Field for a charity poker tournament. The proceeds will benefit the Paralyzed Veterans of America.

And they’re not playing for matchsticks, either: buy-in is $500.

“I’m going to be lucky if I last three hands before I blow all my money,” Perlmutter said, laughing.
