The continuing “Legends of the Felt” event features a number of well-known athletes, including Jimmy Butler and Neymar. Hustlers Casino is streaming the event live on YouTube. The Miami Heat star, who is renowned for being a skilled poker player, attended the event with other well-known figures.

Butler, wearing a blue jumpsuit and dark sunglasses, continued to look very much like he belonged. He went all in at once, investing up to $78k. But Neymar did the same, contributing his full $75k. Butler prevailed in a hand that reached $174k thanks to his full house.Since he had a 4, Neymar himself played the hand with a triple, and the dealer put up two more 4s. Nevertheless, Butler—who was quite talkative throughout the round—won the $174k hand, and Neymar grinned sarcastically and cast a disappointed glance around.
The Butler himself was jubilant, thanking the heavens. Anyone would be, of course.
Jimmy Butler displayed remarkable poker abilities in a $174k hand.Jimmy Butler’s proficiency was immediately obvious during the hand. Dan Bilzerian first urged him to fold for $10,000, but he refused, saying the hand had nothing to do with money. Instead, the focus was on “winning and losing,” and Butler persisted in his pursuit of a full house all the way to the very end.
The 7 of clubs, the final card on the table, aided him and gave him a stronger hand than Neymar’s. The two famous athletes have been pals for a long time and frequently appear on one other’s social media pages.
Furthermore, Butler had correctly anticipated that he would defeat his Brazilian friend by a significant margin. One day prior to the occasion, Jimmy Butler shared the following with Neymar via an Instagram story:
“You still lose to me at poker, Tommy, despite all that.”
The two view each other as brothers, even though Butler delivered on his promise with a decisive victory. The Heat star previously stated the following about Neymar in an interview with The Guardian:
Yоu knоw whаt I meаn when I sаy thаt I view him like а brоther? I’ll tаke а plаne tо аny lоcаtiоn tо see my brоther plаy. There’s а genuine sense оf fаmily аbоut him.Jimmy Butler told Neymar that “he loves him” during the handshake, which further demonstrated the type of friendship the two had. Even yet, Butler’s happiness was obvious as he grinned broadly before pulling off another brilliant poker face.
