Will Neymar make a royal street flush? Rumors say he might join poker tournament in the Bahamas
According to German newspaper Bild, football star Neymar may be participating in the World Series of Poker Winter Edition tournament organized by GGPoker. The Brazilian has shown interest in taking part, but has not yet confirmed his participation.
Neymar has long been a fan of poker, engaging in both offline and online tournaments. He trained under poker professional Felipe Ramos, the husband of German poker player Natalie Hof-Ramos. Earlier this summer, Neymar participated in one of the World Series tournaments in Las Vegas.
The tournament in the Bahamas is set to begin on December 12, and Neymar will be free to attend, as Al Hilal's final match of the year is scheduled for December 7. However, it’s unlikely that Neymar will play in that match due to an injury.
In other news, Neymar recently purchased a luxurious penthouse in Dubai for €51 million. According to reports, the penthouse will feature a private garage, a pool, and even a personal elevator for the car to ascend to the floor.
