In case you missed it, Neymar Jr joined the world's largest poker site last month. To celebrate the signing of the Brazilian football superstar, PokerStars will give away packages featuring two tickets to an FC Barcelona game, seven nights hotel accommodation for two, $800 for travel expenses, an invitation to meet Neymar Jr, and a €2,2150 EPT Barcelona side event ticket.
But that's not[...] Read more » Win a fantastic trip to Barcelona to meet Neymar Jr
I've been to Barcelona a good twelve years ago. I did not stay at a fancy hotel, nor meet any actual footballers or even play cards but my accommodation was fine, I saw the stadiums (both the Olympic and the Nou Camp as well) plus watched how the gypsies rip off clueless tourists on the Las Ramblas playing shell game. Truly three signs of a good summer.

Barcelona is a great city and full of heat places to go and things to do, including the beach. This prize competition sounds a pretty good one, if you really want to meet Neymar! I have often wondered how promos like this will go.........
Damo..... "Hello Mr Neymar, I'm Damo" Neymar......"Que? Oh! Si! Hola." Damo...... "So, you're a footballer who plays poker and are earning loads of money" Neymar...... "Si." Damo...... "How was Chile? I understand you weren't there long!" Neymar...... "Adios." Damo......"Great! Off to a nice cafe on Las Ramblas then!"

This sounds like a very good prize though to be honest meeting Neymar would not be the most important part of it. 7 nights in Barcelona sounds good and a ticket to play in an EPT event would be great.

Good Luck to all mobsters.. I lived in Barcelona for 6years and its a good city BUT I hate FC Barcelona... Real Madrid!! P.S Watch out for muggers,hustlers and all FUCKING TOURISTS!!!
Posted by Calmplay: What I want is a fantastic trip with Liv Boeree and not Neymar or whatever...
Remind me again how many goals Liv scored last year in his club or national team? That's right I bet she can't even play football! Altough if we look after her bedroom gymnastics - now that's a whole other ballpark.

Barcelona and Brazil fans will be hoping that Neymar does not go the same way as Rafa Nadal.......as soon as he signs up as a poker sponsor his form goes to rubbish,same as Suarez,signed up by 888 and then bites someone and sponsorship ends.....Neymar goes to the copa cup and gets banned for most of the tourney....tilt.

For the winner of this crazy promotion, it will be one of a life time oportunity, because if the winner never in to barcelona he/she will became known of what the city offer you, because spain have something in particular, and became to meet Neymar Jr., that in this moment is one of the best players is a huge thing, i hope that who will win this enjoy the city, the meeting and spend a good quality time of their life.

Well, Neymar just a jerk tbh, but Rafa's body starting to wear off at the end of last year and it continued this year. Don't know if he uses new methods to keep himself in shape or just tried to come off dopping (honestly who knows what he is on) but his form is always questionable when he is not playing on clay, and this year he wasn't even remotely good on clay either. Neymar still doing just fine as far as football goes, I'd hate to play during my summer holidays year after year too - so I don't see Amaya as the boogeyman here, but maybe you're right - this is cursed.
