Popular streamer N3on entered Friday night’s Celebrity Poker Tour (CPT) Invitational XIII in Las Vegas with no prior poker experience, yet emerged victorious over a field of more than 50 celebrities, earning $15,000 for the win.
The event, the CPT’s 19th, took place at PokerGO Studio inside ARIA Resort & Casino and featured many first-time players, including Olympic medalist Caitlyn Jenner and television personality Holly Madison. N3on, who boasts 1.15 million YouTube subscribers, fit right into that group of newcomers.
Ahead of the tournament, N3on admitted his inexperience but embraced the challenge, saying he saw it as a chance to have fun and try to win money. He was seated at the feature table alongside Jenner, Madison, former NBA player Nate Robinson, and fellow creators India Love and Tana Mongeau.
Despite his lack of knowledge about the game, N3on pulled off a memorable double knockout at the final table, rivering a full house with a two-outer in a hand that commentator Brent Hanks called one of the most unusual moments the CPT has broadcast.
N3on’s win comes weeks after he gained attention for assisting former NBA guard Delonte West, who has faced homelessness and addiction. N3on said he reached out to West, provided him with $50,000 and a phone, and reported that West is now in a sober living facility and doing well.
Following his tournament victory, N3on also earned a seat in the $26,000 buy-in Super Main Event at the upcoming WSOP Paradise.
