Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team striker Cristiano Ronaldo has been recently spotted on Full Tilt Poker playing with the superstars of another kind of green felt, Daniel "jungleman12" Cates and Patrik Antonius. With Cates it was just a fun game with 1/2 blinds, but with his friend Antonius, the soccer star played heads up at 25/50 level.

It's been a well-known fact that Ronaldo is a poker enthusiast and sometimes plays on Full Tilt Poker with the nickname CR7sete. Last Friday he was spotted playing a fun game of 1/2 PLO with Daniel "jungleman12" Cates, who posted about it on his Twitter page:

playing on full tilt vs Cristiano Ronaldo
I'm winning lol, fortunately not playing football :)

Yesterday Ronaldo took up his friend Patrik Antonius, this time at NLHE heads up with much higher stakes, $25/$50. Apparently Ronaldo won a little bit in the session but we don't have the exact figures.

When the railers were wondering what Patrik Antonius was doing at the 5k level, CR7sete told them it was just a friendly game:

CR7sete: Didnt move down in levels…we are friends…
Patrik Antonius: wp champ
CR7sete: Thanks…
Patrik Antonius: footbol and poker good
Patrik Antonius: tennis is so so...
Patrik Antonius: ciao
CR7sete: Good game…play tomorow
CR7sete: o text my mobile….
Patrik Antonius: ok
Patrik Antonius: ciao

So, Patrik thinks there's nothing wrong with Ronaldo's football or poker skills but maybe his tennis game needs some work. While playing 25/50 NLHE with Patrik Antonius is not the smartest move for anyone's bankroll, Ronaldo won't have trouble reloading should he bust. Just his salary at Real Madrid is more than one million euros per month, and his advertising and endorsement deals are worth many times that.
