"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rafael Nadal has conquered tennis, now he\u2019s looking to dominate a second sport. The number one ranked tennis player in the world will play in his first live poker tournament on December 12. Nadal, 27, picked up the game of poker a little over a year ago. Shortly after that, he was signed by online poker giant PokerStars to be a \u201Cpoker ambassador\u201D.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It took him about half a year, but Nadal won his first online poker tournament this past January. He's a bit cautious with his poker bankroll, though. The tournament he won to start the year was a \u20AC10 (about $13 USD) buy-in tourney. Nadal, who has an estimated net-worth of $70 million, won \u20AC152, about $205 USD.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It\u2019ll be interesting to see how Nadal fares in a live tournament. His trainer, pro poker player Alfonso Cardalda, says Nadal has \u201Clearning the game of poker very seriously\u201D. Perhaps we should get Novak Djokovic in the tourney with Nadal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since the tournament, part of the European Poker Tour, is for charity, let's hope Nadal forks out a little bit more than $13 dollars.\n[Poker News]&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
