NBA star Russell Westbrook raises nearly $1 million in charity poker tournament.

Russell Westbrook第六屆年度慈善撲克賽事在拉斯維加斯舉行，為Why Not? Foundation籌得近100萬美元。Phil Ivey、Michael Mizrachi等撲克明星出席，Michail Grigorev奪冠。

Russell Westbrook，NBA歷史上頂尖得分後衛之一，在拉斯維加斯舉辦了他的年度慈善撲克賽事，活動獲得巨大成功。

這位近期退休的NBA球星透過其「Why Not? Foundation」與世界撲克巡迴賽（WPT）合作，第六屆年度撲克之夜籌得近100萬美元。這使六年來的總額達到近300萬美元，全數用於公益事業。

許多撲克界超級明星與Westbrook一同在拉斯維加斯參加這場撲克賽事，包括WPT大使Phil Ivey和Vince Van Patten，以及2025年WSOP主賽事冠軍Michael Mizrachi。一些NBA同僚如DeAndre Jordan和Harrison Barnes也出席了Fontainebleau的會員專屬Poodle Room。

在拉斯維加斯籌款

Westbrook，許多人簡稱他為「Russ」，在NBA征戰18個賽季，場均20.9分，曾效力七支球隊。他兩度領跑聯盟得分榜，並在2016-2017賽季為奧克拉荷馬城雷霆隊贏得最有價值球員獎。

即使在球員生涯期間，Westbrook——籃球生涯收入超過3.5億美元——就利用自己的平台回饋社區。其中一個方式就是透過年度慈善撲克賽事。

Westbrook每年邀請撲克明星和名人幫助為他的「Why Not? Foundation」籌款。他創立該基金會是為了激勵年輕人的生活，教導他們永遠問自己「Why Not?」，並幫助他們建立永不放棄的韌性。

撲克錦標賽買入費為10,000美元，並附帶一些額外福利，包括在拉斯維加斯大道上豪華新渡假村Fontainebleau的一晚住宿。

Westbrook參加了比賽。他在翻牌圈以頂對全押，卻幾乎聽死於實境秀明星Princess Love。Princess Love翻牌擊中頂兩對，並在轉牌和河牌後保持領先。

撲克職業選手Michail Grigorev最終贏得這場撲克錦標賽。他擊敗了一個經驗豐富的決賽桌，包括Princess Love和Randall Emmett。Ivey、Mizrachi和Westbrook都未能進入決賽桌。但贏得錦標賽並非當晚的主要焦點——重點是為公益事業籌款，而這正是當晚發生的事。
