Defending champion Dylan Linde was among the players to jump into the field at the start of Day 2.
Ethan "Rampage" Yau hasn't made much noise in the tournament streets at the 2026 World Series of Poker, cashing just twice so far this summer. But while the bracelets have proved elusive, the poker vlogger has been printing money in the biggest cash games in Las Vegas.
The WSOP bracelet winner is in the middle of the hottest run of his career on Hustler Casino Live. Over his last three appearances on the streamed high-stakes game, Yau has piled up more than $1.3 million in profit, including a $707,000 win on June 19. Combined with scores of $302,000 and $316,000 earlier in the month, Rampage has turned three sessions into a seven-figure heater.
Despite just two WSOP cashes to his name this summer, Yau has more than made up for it under the dimly lit lights of HCL, where the biggest pots have been going his way.
The money bubble and a chance at the final table await the 30 players who return for Day 2 of Event #55: $50,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha at 1 p.m. local time.
Sean Winter leads the way into the event’s penultimate day with 1,775,000, just ahead of Daniel Negreanu (1,750,000). Winter has made more than $6 million in his WSOP career, including two final tables already this year, but is still searching for the long-awaited first bracelet.
