Neymar has had an eventful summer while he waits for the 2016 Olympic Games to begin in Rio de Janeiro. He's hung out with Justin Bieber and Lewis Hamilton, swapped jerseys with the Golden State Warriors, and just this weekend as Brazil controversially crashed out of Cope America Centenario, Neymar won himself a seat in the upcoming World Series of Poker main event.

Neymar won a two-table satellite event at the Rio in Las Vegas, and earned a $10,000 seat in the World Series of Poker main event, which will begin July 9th. Last year's main even had more than 6,000 entrants and a prize pool of just over $60 million.
