Following Brazil's elimination from the World Cup after a loss to Norway, Brazilian forward Neymar began his vacation by participating in Event #94 of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas. He entered the No-Limit Texas Hold'em Six-Handed Tournament with a $10,000 entry fee (approximately 51,000 Brazilian reals). The tournament used a 'freezeout' format, meaning Neymar could not rebuy chips or re-enter after losing all his chips. He failed to advance to the second day and was eliminated before reaching the money bubble (the stage where players earn prize money). The report highlights Neymar's double disappointment—first on the pitch and then at the poker table.
