The third Celebrity Poker Tour (CPT) game that was aired on PokerGo this week concluded with the American social media personality and bare-knuckle boxer Bryce Hall taking it down. He won the belt and the top $10,000 prize for his first-ever Celebrity Poker Tour title. However, his victory was not easy as he faced tough competition from Hila Klein, co-host of the H3 podcast, who finished second for $5,000.
The Game Night III on the Celebrity Poker Tour had a star-studded line-up with Twitch streamer JC Caylen, aforementioned Bryce Hall, Steiny, part of the Nelk Boys and Full Send crews, H3 Show host Ethan Klein & wife Hila Klein, an Israeli-American fashion designer and businesswoman, YouTube superstar Tana Mongeau, her partner Makoa, podcast host Zach Justice, American contortionist Sofie Dossi.
Ethan Klein, who was a big chip leader at one point, was one of the favorites to win but he became the first casualty finishing in ninth place. He first lost a pot to Mongeau whose pocket sixes held up against his king-eight. After a series of setbacks, he finally shoved with seven-eight of clubs on a flop of J-8-4. He was up against Justice who held queen-jack for top pair. A nine on the turn didn’t help Klein and the eight river sent him to the rail. He was followed by Tana Mongeau in eighth place. She busted with pocket nines to Steiny’s ace-eight on a board of A-Q-2-3-8 giving Steiny two pairs to ship the pot.
Following her were JC Caylen (7th), Makoa (6th) and Zach Justice (5th). The next player to fall was Contortionist Sofie Dossi, who got in on the action after Klein’s quick elimination. She was doing well and even won a few pots before bowing out in fourth place. Unfortunately, her ace-queen lost to Hila Klein’s pocket fours. It was time for the money bubble and the former chip leader Steiny exited in third on bubble after his ace-five lost to Hall’s pocket fives.
When heads-up play began, Klein held a 3-1 chip advantage but lost her lead when her king-ten failed to hold against Hall’s ten-nine. After a back-and-forth battle, it all ended with Hall’s seven-six making two-pair against Klein’s ace-jack on a board of T-9-7-6-2 and earning him the top $10,000 prize and his first Celebrity Poker Tour title. Klein settled for $5,000 for her second place in her first-ever CPT event.
