While the preparation for the football season is almost starting again, professional footballer Neymar is still playing poker in the World Series Of Poker Las Vegas . So far, Luck has not been on the side of the Brazilian, but he has now managed to achieve his first WSOP cash. Neymar was 49. e in Event #41. This tournament was the $1000 super turbo bounty no-limit Hold em tournament, which accounted for $3,959.
Last week, Neymar made his World Series Of Poker debut by signing up for the $10,000 no limit holdem championship event #26. Here, unfortunately, it did not come to a cash and the striker of Paris Saint Germain had to leave the field on the first day. The second tournament he took part in was a lot better. He finished 49th. e of the 2227 participants.
In addition to Neymar, one of the biggest poker Legends is also present at the WSOP. After missing the first days of the WSOP due to a Corona infection, Phil Helmuth still appeared at the WSOP 2023. He knew immediately in three poker tournaments cashing. In event #31 and #38 he reached the final tables and became 8 e and 9 e , together good for over $60,000.
During this last event #38 Hellmuth caused quite a stir. When Hellmuth took a short break, the tournament director broke up his table, forcing the players to move to another table. In this process, something went wrong that caused Hellmuth's chips to end up in another player's pile.
When Hellmuth came back from his break, he found out that his chips were gone and immediately went to the management to make up. In the end, cameras could be used to find out how many chips the 16-time WSOP winner ultimately had. This allowed the American to continue his tournament again.
