Streamer N3on won a poker tournament without even knowing the rules

American blogger N3on won the Celebrity Poker Tour Invitational XIII tournament in Las Vegas. The guy, who has 1.15 million subscribers on YouTube, beat a field of 50 celebrities, including Caitlyn Jenner and Holly Madison. For first place the newcomer received $15,000 and a ticket to the WSOP Paradise tournament worth $26,000.

Before the game began, the streamer honestly admitted to journalists:

I know nothing about poker. Someone just messaged me, and I thought it was a great chance to win some money.

The main highlight of the final was a hand where N3on hit a full house on the river with just two outs. The blogger didn't even realize he'd won, and the PokerGO commentators called this double knockout one of the most absurd in history.

In the poker community, the win was attributed to good karma. A month earlier the streamer had supported homeless ex-NBA player Delonte West, gifting him an iPhone, professional streaming equipment, and $50,000 in cash to start a new life.
