Ludwig probably had one of his most significant fan moments as he recently met the YouTube sensation MrBeast. The meeting was more of a surprise for Ludwig as MrBeast suddenly offered to fly him to his place in a private jet. Once again, another opportunity came up for MrBeast to call Ludwig to Los Angeles for a shoot.

All of these were monumental for Ludwig, and as the streamer says, both of them engaged in a poker game. When someone meets MrBeast, they expect to earn some money from him. However, Ludwig lost $10,000 from Jimmy and wanted his redemption!

Ludwig tricks MrBeast in his poker tournament to win $100,000 out of him

As everyone might know, Ludwig was organizing a Poker tournament. It featured the likes of famous streamers like Ninja, Slime, xQcOW, Alexandra Botez, YouTube icon MrBeast, and Poker World Champions Phil Hellmuth and Tom Dwan. It was a $100,000 buy-in game.

The format is no-limit, Texas Hold Em, in which each player is dealt two cards and must match the five cards on the table to produce the greatest possible hand. This increases the amount of money flowing around the table since players must make riskier bets to advance.

Ludwig reveals that he had placed himself on MrBeast’s right since the person on the left always has the highest chance to compete against someone next to them. This means Ludwig was basically able to get an upper hand in the tournament in favor of him winning cash out of MrBeast.

xQc and Slime were eliminated pretty easily as they had lost $99,500 in the game. In the cumulative standing, Alexandra Botez stood high with $456,900 in earnings, followed by MrBeast and Ludwig, earning $438,900 and $404,700, respectively.

While Ludwig might not have been able to beat MrBeast in the game of Poker, he did retrieve what he had lost from him in their previous game. There are no hard feelings but genuine competitiveness and fun that they had while hosting this tournament!
