Ethan "Rampage" Yau says he's "ready to quit" three weeks into the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) after numerous early eliminations and zero WSOP final tables.
But don't expect the poker vlogger to actually quit the bracelet chase. Rampage has racked up quite a few cashes this summer, but all for small amounts, and he's fired more bullets than Scott Seiver in a Flip & Go.

Omaha Hi-Lo
"Hollywood" Dave Stann raised from middle position and bracelet winner Gershon Distenfeld, who donates all his WSOP cashes to charity, called from the small blind.
The latter check-called a bet of 3,000 on the A♠2♦4♦ flop and then both players checked the 10♦ turn.
When the 9♠ completed the board on the river, Distenfeld bet 6,000 and Stann paused for a few beats before making the call.
"Not much," Distenfeld admitted before showing his [ahkdhc5h] for just a pair of aces. Stann then tabled the A♦4♥K♠6♣ for two pair and the win.
Distenfeld was left with a short stack and went bust not long after.

In the 898th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Kyna Englandn and Mike Holtz are back at Level 9 Studio to offer their thoughts on Doug Polk's recent appearance on Kill Tony, the popular Austin-based stand-up comedy program. How did Doug do in front of Tony Hinchcliffe and company? Let's just say you might be surprised.
Mike, who made a recent appearance in Daniel Negreanu's vlog, then sounds off on the cancelled WSOP Online bracelet event, the crew discusses the recently-announced changes to the WSOP Circuit, Chad goes to the world's largest casino collectibles show, and Matt Savage offers his thoughts as a special guest speaker.
Other topics include bracelet wins by Nick Schulman, Jason Koon, and John Racener, highlights from recent Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) events, and an exclusive interview with famed poker author Michael Kaplan, who recently released a new book, Advantage Players. The veteran scribe shares several poker stories, including Phil Ivey and Kelly Sun's baccarat edge sorting, the legendary Billy Baxter, and what it was like working with Stu Ungar in what was one of the final, if not THE final, interviews before he passed in 1998.
Learn about all those stories and more in the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast!
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice a week during the 2025 WSOP every Thursday and Sunday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
