This past week, tennis star Rafa Nadal gathered his family and friends for a barbeque and poker home game by the pool, and it just so happened that PokerStars was there to capture the action.

The poolside game, which was a single-table freezeout, had one special rule �C the first player to bust had to jump in the pool. Fortunately for Nadal, it wasn��t him. In fact, Nadal, who won the PokerStars EPT Charity Challenge in Prague last December, he lasted until the early morning hours, though he wasn��t able to capture the title. That went to his friend and Spanish basketball captain Juan Carlos Navarro.

Here are some photos from the home game courtesy of PokerStars:
