"This is Where the Run Ends"

Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Poker vlogger Ethan "Rampage" Yau got down to 1,000 during Level 1 but managed to spin it up to 12,000 after doubling through Justin Saliba.

The next hand, Yau played a heads-up pot from the big blind against the small blind and bet 1,500 on the flop of A109. His opponent check-raised and Yau called it off.

Ethan Yau: 97 All in
Small Blind: A9

"This is where the run ends," Yau said when he saw he was up against two pair.

The board finished out K3 and the popular vlogger and Pokemon card collector was sent to the rail.
