Soccer Ace Neymar Denied PokerStars Titans Event Victory

Brazilian soccer sensation Neymar “neymar-jr” Jr. came agonizingly close to taking down the latest edition of the $5,200 Titans Event at PokerStars this weekend, ultimately having to make do with a runner-up finish. Although Neymar collected $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.
