Neymar Played a High Roller at WCOOP
This summer Neymar made appearances at both the World Series in Las Vegas and the Brazilian Series of Poker in São Paulo. Now the Santos forward has played online at the World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP).
Neymar made two entries in the $10,300 NLHE PKO High Roller, which drew 40 registrations including re-entries. However, neither attempt went particularly well. The Brazilian footballer failed to reach the ITM, finishing in eighth place.
The min-cash of $14,797 went to fifth-place finisher Jamie Dwan, though thanks to $17,500 in bounties the Brit's total winnings came to $32,297.
The event champion was Ole "wizowizo" Schemion. The Austrian regular beat compatriot Jorge "jorginho88" Abreu heads-up and took home $139,969 — the second-largest prize at WCOOP 2026.
