PokerStars Duel is a series of videos featuring celebrities playing heads-up poker for charity, in front of an audience of poker pros and fans.

The series includes players: Cristiano Ronaldo & Neymar Jr (football legends), Aaron Paul (Actor, Breaking Bad), Sara Sampaio (Victoria Secrets model), Mireia Lalaguna (Miss World) and John Boyega (Actor, Star Wars). The table scenes look like they have been re-enacted for that extra Hollywood effect.

The players are coached by PokerStars pros Vanessa Selbst, Andre Akkari, Fatima Moreira de Melo and may only use one timeout per match.

Winner of the heads-up poker match gets to choose the charity for the donation sponsored by PokerStars.
