Two-Hand Penalty for Piqué
Back on June 30, 2013, Spain took on Brazil in the FIFA Confederations Cup final. Brazil defeated Spain 3-0 to win, and it was Spain's Gerard Piqué who earned himself a red card for a tackle against FC Barcelona teammate Neymar. Because of the red card, Piqué is suspended for Spain's World Cup qualifier match against Finland that takes place on September 6. That leaves some extra time for Piqué to play some poker, but like in soccer, there are certain rules you must abide by when playing.

for a weaker two pair. Piqué was awarded the pot, but he was also awarded with something else a little less rewarding.
The floor had watched the hand play out, and promptly informed Piqué that he had to serve a two-hand penalty for prematurely exposing his hand with action still to be played.
