The Olympic champion participated in the Celebrity Poker Tour Invitational XIII, a tournament that brought together athletes, influencers, and personalities. Despite little experience at the tables, she showed good humor when talking about the new adventure.

Thus, Caitlyn Jenner joked that she could already consider herself a professional. However, she soon revealed that she had only played poker a few times, years ago. “Actually, I am a professional poker player”, she joked. In addition, she received a lesson about the game at the PokerGO Studio one day before the competition.
In this way, during the tournament, Caitlyn shared the televised table with names like Nate Robinson, Camilla Araujo, and Tana Mongeau. Also, she spent much of the night alongside Holly Madison, another poker beginner. The event awarded US$ 15,000 to the champion, a prize that ended up in the hands of content creator N3on.
Additionally, Caitlyn did not manage to reach the payout zone. Still, the Olympic champion showed that she had grasped some concepts in a short time. “You need to move forward, but you need to do it cautiously”, she explained. Then she added: “In the end, you need to get the cards. If you don’t get the cards, you won’t win”.

Caitlyn Jenner reveals Kylie Jenner’s passion for poker
However, while Caitlyn is still beginning to discover poker, Kylie Jenner already has a closer relationship with the game. The daughter of the Olympic champion considers poker one of her favorite hobbies. In fact, she presented a “hot girl poker” masterclass for Vanity Fair this year, in which she explained the game to her followers.
In short, Caitlyn revealed that Kylie Jenner did not like being left out of the tournament in Las Vegas. “She is very upset because I am here and she is not”, she said. Kylie also shares her interest in poker with her boyfriend, actor Timothée Chalamet. Commenting on the couple, Caitlyn summed up: “They love playing poker”.
Finally, Caitlyn avoided evaluating her daughter’s skills at the tables. After all, the two have never played together. “I’ve never played with her, so I wouldn’t know. But I wouldn’t doubt her”, she stated. Thus, while Caitlyn Jenner takes her first steps in poker, Kylie already shows that the game occupies a space among her favorite pastimes.
