Russell Westbrook raised around $1 million at a charity poker night
Former Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook hosted a charity poker night. "Poker Night" took place at the Fontainebleau casino-hotel in Las Vegas with the support of the World Poker Tour.
The tournament's buy-in was $10,000 and included a night's stay at the hotel. Among the participants were Phil Ivey and Michael Mizrachi, as well as NBA players DeAndre Jordan and Harrison Barnes.
In one hand, Westbrook went all-in with 7♥️2♠️ on a 7♦️5♦️6♥️ flop and got a call from American reality TV star Princess Love, who held 6♠️7♠️. The poker player's hand held up on the turn and river.
The tournament winner was American pro Mikhail Grigoriev, who beat Princess Love among others at the final table.
