Ludwig Adds Ninja To Poker Tournament

The excitement around Ludwig’s $1 million poker game is about to hit new heights, as the broadcaster has revealed that Ninja will also be competing. 

For this high-stakes game, which is already live on Ludwig’s YouTube channel, two of the most popular Twitch and YouTube streamers will be joined by the likes of xQc and Alexandra Botez. Here’s all you need to know about the event, including the level of excitement among the streamers’ fans.

The event was announced yesterday and went live today, much to the delight of the streaming community. Professional poker players Tom Dwan and Phil Hellmuth are also competing in the $100,000 buy-in tournament with the streamers. Ninja was not included in the initial announcement tweet, and his addition was announced five hours before the highly anticipated event began. The game is played in a no-limit Texas Hold Em format, with five community cards dealt to each player and two cards dealt to each player to construct the greatest possible hand. This increases the amount of money flowing around the table since players must make riskier bets to advance.

Alexandra Botez was leading in cumulative winnings at the time of writing, with Mr. Beast and Alan at the tail end of the leaderboard. After more than 6 hours of play, the scoreboard has reached this point. 

After a hazardous “all-in” option as a last resort, xQc was eliminated from the game. Pokimane and xQc’s podcast stream earlier today disclosed that he had lost approximately $2,000,000 in the last month. Hustler Casino, situated in Los Angeles, is hosting the game, which hosts similar streams every weekday. With approximately 50,000 regular viewers throughout the game, this partnership with Ludwig is their most-watched show.
