Botez's $500K Poker Win

A story about a celebrity poker game where chess streamer Alexandra Botez won big against famous content creators and poker pros.

"There was a celebrity poker game last night with Mr. Beast, Ninja, xQc, Phil Hellmuth, and Tom Dwan - a mix of content creators and professional poker players. It was a $50,000 buy-in game with rebuys, called the Million Dollar Game.

Alexandra Botez, who's known for chess content creation, cleaned up in this game. She's not a great poker player, but they were all playing very loose. She won a half-million dollar pot with ace-nine, kind of a lucky hand. She came in with $50K and built up to a $650,000 chip stack - she had so many chips she couldn't even stack them in time for the next hand. She's asking for help stacking the chips and they're like 'fuck you, we're not gonna help you stack your chips you just took from us.'

Then Mr. Beast goes 'she's single-handedly gonna close the wage gap.' The pros were sitting there playing smart, waiting for good cards, while Mr. Beast was just playing any hand he could get into, saying 'I just want one clip to go viral.'"
