Piqué wins 129,350 euros in poker tournament in Barcelona
Barcelona and Spain footballer Gerard Piqué pocketed major winnings at the Pokerstars Championship Barcelona on Thursday.
Update:
Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué showed that his talents extend beyond the football field by winning just under 130,000 euros in a poker tournament in the Catalan capital on Thursday.
The Spain international pocketed 129,350 euros after coming fifth in a No Limit Holdem event at Casino Barcelona, held as part of the Pokerstars Championship Barcelona.
The 66-person tournament, which cost 25,000 euros to enter, is by no means the first time that Piqué, 30, has claimed healthy prize money at the poker table.
