Wolfgang Poker finally bucked the Celebrity Poker Tour trend of female winners last night, scooping Game Night II and $10,000 ahead of a host of fellow social media influencers and celebrities.
Fresh from landing a mind-blowing 100 million views from a poker short on his YouTube channel, Wolfgang – aka Alexander Seibt – was up against an array of modern-day celebrities in the PokerGO studio last night. And we were in attendance to follow all the fun.
Reality TV star Princess Love, winner of the CPT Invitational II in February, was looking for a second victory. YouTube star Tana Mongeau, UFC fighter Aljamain Sterling, music artist and TV personality Ray J, model and internet personality Josie Canseco, 'Barstool' Mintzy, and VegasMatt rounded out the table.
If you love your poker noisy and brash, then the CPT Game Night II line-up delivered, set up by some social media trash-talking in the run-up to the SNG-style event – and you can watch the whole stream above.
Incredibly, the first bust-out of the night saw Love get rid of her soon-to be ex-husband, Ray J – the couple announced their divorce in February citing “irreconcilable differences”.
Mintzy gets felted
It was three hours in before Mintzy departed, when the Barstool Sports personality couldn't hit his double-gutter. Then Sterling took out actor Griffin Johnson, with a spectacular flop.

Princess Love eventually saw her hopes dashed in a crazy three-handed showdown, and when VegasMatt busted out courtesy of Mongeau, the scene was set.
Could Mongeau make it four from four for women, and join Princess Love, Maria Ho and Qiyu 'Nemo' Zhou in the CPT winner’s circle ? Or would the most popular poker social media star redress the balance for the men?
We already know the answer, but the end was bizarre. Wolfgang Poker completely misread his hand even as Mongeau flopped across the table in defeat.
Talking to PokerOrg's Tiffany Michelle afterwards, Wolfgang Poker said he was drinking to try and even the field but ended up winning anyway. He was also happy about winning his last-longer bet with VegasMatt.
