Celebrity Poker Tour Champion and WPT World Championship Deep Runner
POKER HALL OF FAME
Inducted 2014
Princess Love brought an established television audience to tournament poker, then built results that extended beyond celebrity appearances. Her record includes a $132,500 cash in the 2023 WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas and victory in the Celebrity Poker Tour Invitational II in February 2024.

From Television to Tournament Poker
Known for her appearances on Love & Hip Hop, Love pursued tournament poker during 2023. In a December 2023 interview with the World Poker Tour, she described learning the game from a cousin and using smaller daily tournaments to prepare for larger events.
That preparation included a Wynn Las Vegas daily tournament victory worth $11,629 in April 2023. She also recorded a 17th-place finish in a WSOP $1,000 Super Turbo event and finished second in the 2023 StormX Invitational III for $80,156.

A Breakthrough at Wynn
The 2023 WPT World Championship became a significant step in Love’s development. The tournament was her first event with a buy-in above $10,000, according to WPT’s contemporaneous interview.
Her $132,500 payout demonstrated a deep run in an open major championship, distinct from the invitation-only events that later brought her additional visibility. The result is recorded tournament prize money, rather than a measure of profit or personal wealth.

Celebrity Poker Tour Champion
Love won the Celebrity Poker Tour Invitational II at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas in February 2024. PokerGO’s official recap records a 73-entry field and a $20,000 first prize.
The event brought together entertainers, professional athletes, content creators and poker players. Her title forms a separate achievement from her WPT World Championship cash: the Celebrity Poker Tour and the World Poker Tour are different competitions.

Poker and Public Visibility
Love’s poker career connects a mainstream entertainment audience with competitive tournament play. Her documented results cover local tournaments, an open WPT championship and televised celebrity events.
In October 2026, the All In For Mental Health organizer listed her among the special guests for its November 1 charity poker tournament at Encore. That scheduled appearance reflects another part of her public poker involvement, alongside her recorded tournament results.
