Brazilian soccer sensation Neymar "neymar-jr" Jr. came agonizingly close to taking down the latest 👏 edition of theR$5,200 Titans Event at PokerStars this weekend, ultimately having to make do with a runner-up finish. Although Neymar 👏 collectedR$66,056 for his bridesmaid finish, he will be bitterly disappointed not to have come out on top and added the 👏 Titans Event title to his long list of personal accomplishments.
Neymar fans will likely see more of their hero at the 👏 live and virtual felts in the coming months because he faces a spell on the sidelines. Last week, while representing 👏 his country in a World Cup qualifying game against Uruguay, Neymar landed awkwardly and left the field in tears on 👏 a stretcher. Tests later confirmed a meniscus tear injury to Neymar's knee and a season-ending Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear. 👏 Neymar faces up to a year in the treatment room.
Soccer's loss looks to be poker's gain. Neymar decided to fire 👏 up PokerStars on October 22 and flick in theR$5,200 buy-in for the Titans Event. It was a drop in the 👏 ocean for the man who recently put pen to paper on a two-year deal worth a reportedR$219 million annually. But 👏 as Team PokerStars' Rafael Moraes revealed to PokerNews last year, Neymar does not play poker for the money; he just 👏 wants to win.
