Ray J’s wife, Princess Love, just made history during Black History Month by becoming the first Black woman to win the Celebrity Poker Tour Invitational II in Las Vegas.
On Thursday, Feb. 8, Love walked away with the $20,000 grand prize, along with a custom engraved bottle of LOUIS XIII cognac and two engraved Baccarat crystal glasses, Poker News reported. The Love and Hip-Hop star won the 73-entrant invite-only field that took place at PokerGo Studio ahead of Super Bowl LVIII.
Love beat out several public figures, including celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, Las Vegas influencer Tana Mongeau, who went out in third for $5,000, and Atlanta Falcons fullback Keith Smith, who came in second with $10,000.
Love had the support of her husband, who was seated alongside her as she competed against defending champion Qiyu “Nemo” Zhou, José Canseco, Josie Canseco, and Gordie Gronkowski. Her victory came after a rivered flush and overcoming a commanding chip lead from NFL player Laviska Shenault.
