Play Poker Against Rafa Nadal on PokerStars.es Today


Tennis superstar Rafa Nadal is taking on the world in a poker challenge today on PokerStars.es. In the event titled “Rafa vs El Mundo,” Nadal will play on the site's Zoom tables starting at 19:00 CET. The tables will use fake money with blinds of 5/10.

For each hand Nadal loses, PokerStars will donate $50 to Care International. Fans can follow Nadal's poker stream on PokerStars.tv, which will connect live to Poker-Red. Additionally, fans can ask Nadal questions via Twitter using the hashtag #askrafa.

This is not Nadal's only poker challenge. On October 14 at 20:00 CET, he will face Cristiano Ronaldo in a heads-up poker match. The winner of that match will receive $50,000, which will be donated to a charity of the winner's choice.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
