PokerStars-sponsored Brazilian Series of Poker (BSOP) São Paulo, where Neymar Jr has reached the final table in the Super High Roller event in a field of 288 players.
The Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil national forward has reached the final table with nine players left. The table unanimously agreed to pause action yesterday evening when Neymar Jr told them he had a wedding to attend, quite a big deal as he was best man, so in a great act of fair play the table decided to pause until Wednesday.
When the players made the decision, BSOP generously agreed to cover additional expenses, including hotel rooms and flight changes.
Play will resume at 6pm (2pm BST) today with Neymar Jr currently sitting in 6th place.
Neymar Jr wasn’t the only celebrity in attendance at BSOP. Manchester City striker and fellow Brazilian national Gabriel Jesus also joined the action at the main event on Monday July 23.
