A week ago, PokerStars Cultural Ambassador Neymar Jr. made his playing debut at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) when the Paris Saint-Germain's renowned forward entered Event #26: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship.

A security member, diligent in their duty and unaware that Neymar was in action, strolled up and said, “Sorry guys, I gotta kick you out, you can’t stay here.”
