Bryce Hall was running hot in the Celebrity Poker Tour Invitational II held at the PokerGo Studios when he knocked Chess star (and streamer) Alexandra Botez out of the tournament.
Not content to sit on the sidelines, Titans QB Will Levis joined them in the hand only to call away a ton of chips and fold when he realized he was almost certainly beaten. Interestingly, Alexandra Botez got all of her money in the middle with just two overs and two draws. It’s not the worst play, and she has a brilliant mind for the game of poker, but to put your tournament life at stake on a draw is always a tough decision to make.
With Will Levis still in the hand, Alexandra Botez’s odds after the flop weren’t too far behind Bryce Hall‘s AhKd. But when Levis folded she was a 54%-44% underdog (2% chance of a split).
The flip side of this is Bryce Hall either made a hero call thinking his two over cards were good enough because he literally had nothing but two overs, or he just made a donkey call hoping he’d get lucky only to find out she was making a pressure move on him. Upon seeing Bryce Hall’s cards, Botez said “what a call you f—— psycho.”
That was just one of the many wild hands in PokerGo‘s Celebrity Poker Tour Invitational II. This one below had millions and millions of chips in the middle with streamer Tana Mongeau in the mix against Panthers WR Laviska Shenault:
When it was all said and done, Princess Love won the tournament. Bryce Hall was knocked out 1 or 2 spots before the final table bubble. Will Levis finished in 6th and Gordie Gronkowski, Gronk’s brother, finished in 8th place.
