Rampage Opts to Run it Once for a Massive Pot After Seeing He's Way Behind, Sucks Out
Ethan "Rampage" Yau made a low-percentage decision that paid off to the tune of a six-figure pot during Wednesday's high-stakes game on Hustler Casino Live.
The hand was the biggest pot of the night in the $50/$100 no-limit hold'em cash game at Hustler Casino in Los Angeles. But it still didn't help the popular poker vlogger turn a profit for the session.
'I Would Prefer Once'
"Jack C" kicked off the action in the hand by min-raising to $200 with K♥K♣ from an early position. He received five calls from mediocre hands before Rampage, the big blind, three-bet to $2,500 with a real hand — Q♦Q♣. Pocket kings then re-raised to $9,000, which forced all the weak holdings to fold.
Rampage, on the other hand, moved all in for $82,150 and received a snap-call. Jack asked his opponent if he'd like to run the board out twice for the $165,300 pot. But Rampage, well behind in the hand, as he viewed Jack's superior cards, said "I would prefer once."
The board then ran out just one time, and it came 4♠10♣Q♥6♥9♠, giving Rampage a winning set and a suckout. Despite the lucky flop, the Hustler Casino Live regular still finished the four-hour livestream down $4,626. Jack also lost money, but only around $2,000.
