The football legend has his biggest career poker win in a €25,000 High Roller at a very stacked final table.

Gerard Piqué

Over at the PokerStars Championship the increasingly popular daily €25,000 High Roller events are taking place. Stephen Chidwick won the first one for €690,400 and last night Pavel Plesuv won the next one for €406,300.

With 66 entries in total it was a stacked final table that included the aforementioned Chidwick, Ben Tollerene, Christoph Vogelsang, Daniel Colman and Mustapha Kanit.

However, the notable story in all of that was the presence of Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué, who made his biggest career cash.

He came 5th for €129,350. He always plays poker when it comes to town in Barcelona, with three previous cashes, all in their tens of thousands.

He now has $275,640 in recorded live earnings which puts him well ahead of other footballers like his former Barcelona teammate and former PokerStars pro Neymar, but behind former footballers Teddy Sheringham ($329,477) and Tony Cascarino ($593,948).

The PokerStars Championship Main Event is now in the money and you can watch it right here today.
