Rampage Gets Stacked by Three-Outer in Crazy Four-Way Pot
Table Of Contents
It was another rough outing for Ethan "Rampage" Yau on Hustler Casino Live, as the 28-year-old vlogger booked a $40,000 loss during the latest edition of Max Pain Monday.
Despite being ahead in a massive four-way all-in, the deck lived up to the show’s name and handed him a crushing river beat. The defeat continues a turbulent October for Rampage, who earlier this month 'felt the urge to punt' and dropped more than $215,000 in a single HCL session.
Max Pain for Rampage
The Monday $10/$20/$40 game isn’t the largest that plays out on HCL, but it consistently brings fireworks thanks to one house rule: all all-ins are run once. As the name suggests, the deck often delivers maximum pain, and that’s exactly what happened in a four-way clash where Rampage saw victory snatched away on the river.
Rampage A♦10♦ opened to $400 from the lojack and picked up a call from super high-stakes battler Peter A♠5♥ in the hijack. Coco A♥Q♥ looked down at a premium hand in the small blind and three-bet to $2,000. JT 8♦8♣ defended from the straddle, as did Nikos A♣2♣. Rampage then ripped in his $10,000 stack, Peter folded, and Coco called off for slightly less. JT covered and stuck his chips in, while Nikos shoved his remaining $3,630 into the middle to set up the four-way showdown.
It was a nice situation for JT with pocket eights as every ace was accounted for, but the J♥10♥3♦ flop instead gave Rampage a pair to surge into the lead. Coco held the most equity with a royal flush draw and even began celebrating. The 7♦ turn boosted Rampage further with a flush draw, while Nikos was already drawing dead. The turn also gave JT two extra outs, the black nines would complete a straight to go with his lone out for trips.
Rampage looked set to scoop, but Max Pain Monday lived up to its name. The river brought the case eight 8♠, giving JT a set and the $35,830 pot.
