WHISPERS at Crown casino that the Australian Poker Championships next week might pull the celebrity talents of Tobey Maguire.
The Spider-Man star has been showing his hand at tables around the US poker circuit, walking away with almost $125,000 at a recent US invitational tournament.
Organisers wouldn't confirm Maguire's attendance, but several other big names have been invited, including Ben Affleck and Russian tennis player Yevgeny Kafelnikov.
Affleck, the star of poker movie Rounders, is one of several Hollywood stars making their name in card gambling, in a craze that is sweeping America.
We hear Aussie Eric Bana is also to join the gambling world, as a professional poker player in the movie Lucky You.
