Spraggy to Face Off Against Neymar Jr in Brazil’s Most Exclusive Cash Game

Table Of Contents

This weekend, poker fans are in for a Christmas treat as PokerStars Ambassador and long-time Gloucester City FC fan Benjamin “Spraggy” Spragg takes on Brazilian football icon Neymar Jr at Brazil’s most prestigious poker event. The highly anticipated BSOP One Poker Show will feature a star-studded lineup, with the action live-streamed globally.

PokerStars Ambassador Spraggy has travelled all the way to South America, and will sit down at the table alongside Neymar Jr, boxing champion Chris Eubank Jr, and fellow PokerStars Ambassador Alejandro “Papo MC” Lococo. The cash game, with blinds set at R$100/R$200 and a minimum buy-in of R$20,000 (approximately $3,000), promises high stakes and even higher drama.

“Neymar may have the upper hand on the football pitch, but I’m confident I can hold my own on the poker felt,” said Spraggy. “It’s going to be an entertaining evening for both the players and everyone tuning in to watch.”
