PokerStars has produced a brand new Web Series featuring six global super star celebrities playing in a suite of challenging, one-on-one duels for charity, filmed and released on YouTube.

The six stars are:

• Cristiano Ronaldo (football superstar from Portugal)
• Neymar Jr (football superstar from Brazil)
• Aaron Paul (actor from Breaking Bad)
• John Boyega (actor from Star Wars)
• Sara Sampaio (Victoria’s Secret model)
• Mireia Lalaguna Royo (Miss World)

Professional poker players, and members of Team PokerStars Pro Fatima Moreira de Melo, Vanessa Selbst, Andre Akkari, and Felipe Mojave acted as poker coaches, and were there to supply support when called upon in the course of the matches.

Each celebrity who took part was playing for $5,000 in each match to be donated to a charity in their choice. The charities included ‘Right To Play’ and ‘Save the Children’.

Cristiano Ronaldo said:

“I love the surge of pleasure you get when challenging others, that is one of the most main reasons I REALLY LIKE poker such a lot; it provides me with a thrill that I normally only feel at the football pitch. The duels were challenging but in addition really fun.”
