Celeb Poker Motion in Vegas
The winner-take-all event inside PokerGO Studio featured commentary from Jeff Platt and Brent Hanks, who broke down the motion for viewers who could also be extra aware of celebrities than poker.
Steiny dominated the sport early and cracked Mongeau’s pocket kings as he flopped a straight with six-four suited to remove the Nevada-raised influencer, who re-entered earlier than working pocket queens into the aces of Klein. Mongeau spoke to PokerNews about her unfortunate run of playing cards.
Steiny had a large chip lead as much as five-handed play earlier than doubling Klein as much as even the 2 out. Steiny then eradicated BookItWithTrent and Shane Victorino to enter heads-up play with the chip lead. Klein chipped away at Steiny earlier than an ace-king in opposition to ace-queen confrontation with Steiny having the worst of it.
Steiny was drawing to only three outs after the flip. “I am a loser,” he groaned as a he referred to as for a queen along with his A♣Q♠ on the board of 8♣2♠8♠3♣ as Waka Flocka Flame studied the board.
“A flush do not even win?” the “Arduous in Da Paint” rapper requested as Steiny informed him he did not have a flush draw. “You simply want a pair.”
The river was a clean and Klein secured his first CPT victory. “It feels good to have simply completely outplayed Steiny heads-up,” he informed CPT Founder Blake Wynn in a winner’s interview.
A number of months in the past, Klein told PokerNews he was a newcomer to poker. However he was all poker technique in his winner’s interview. “Heads-up is a unique sport as a result of a whole lot of it’s about excessive playing cards and simply the chances are so completely different. I do not suppose Steiny understands the intricacies of heads-up.”
Klein streamed the motion on his H3 Podcast channel for his 2.7 million followers.
