Playing Poker can be fun, but it also comes with a risk. First, of course, there’s money involved in the game, so you should be ready for the possibilities. However, if you’re a celebrity with a lot to spare, you might want to have your hands on the games. You might be surprised to find stars who don’t only love playing Poker but are great at it. Here are five of them.
- Gerard Pique
This European footballer, who happens to be the husband of Shakira, has an impressive career in Poker. He learned how to play Poker while playing for Manchester United before moving to Spain. He has won over a quarter of a million pounds since he started. Making more on the side isn’t a bad deal for someone who is already earning well as a major league athlete. If you wish to try your luck poker, the globally recognised NetBet platform is a good place to start.
- Matt Damon and Ed Norton
