Soccer Legend Gerard Piqué Busts in High Stakes Poker Tournament at EPT Barcelona
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A familiar face arrived at Casino Barcelona, eager to challenge some of the world’s top poker players at the PokerStars European Poker Tour stop in Barcelona.
Soccer legend Gerard Piqué took his seat in a €20,000 buy-in tournament, joining a star-studded field that included Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel, triple crown winner Mike Watson, and 2024 WSOP Main Event third-place finisher Niklas Astedt.
Piqué is no stranger to the felt, having played at the World Series of Poker and other EPTs. However, the World Cup winner fell below his usual high standards this time around.
