'Rampage'rummy apk Gambles with Jacks in Epic Poker Hand

Ethan "Rampage" Yau played for it all with pocket jacks in a hand against hedge fund manager Bill Perkins in what was an action-packed high-stakes poker game at The Lodge Card Club.

The Texas poker room hosted a $100/$200 no-limit hold'em cash game Sunday on Poker at the Lodge. Rampage, Perkins, Doug Polk, and Dan "Jungleman" Cates were among the high-profile players at the table. The stakes and stacks quickly increased.

Polk, co-owner of the Austin area cardroom, was competing in his first post-"Code Doug" challenge game. He wrapped up a month-long online $100,000 challenge on Saturday against Eric Persson, who beat him in the final match. The Upswing Poker founder fell deep in a hole during the stream on Sunday at "The Lodge" before rallying from a $75,000 deficit to only lose about $7,000.

Jungleman was among the biggest losers in the game having lost over $175,000. The success, or failure, of Rampage and Perkins would mostly come down to one monster pot.

Poker Vlogger Plays for Stacks

Yau, who along with Nikhil "Nik Airball" Arcot recently purchased a stake in The Lodge Card Club, has been on a downswing the past year. He not only came up well short in his goal to win $1 million playing poker over a 12-month period, but has been consistently running into coolers and bad beats during his many livestream appearances.

The poker vlogger with 330,000 YouTube subscribers found himself in a familiar spot on Poker at the Lodge, playing a six-figure pot hoping for his hand to hold up.

The hand began with Vinny Lingham raising to $3,500 from the hijack with A♥4♦before Perkins, in the cutoff with A♠K♣, almost instantaneously announced "all in" for $193,000. Rampage, in the straddle with J♠J♦, tanked before calling off for $171,000. Lingham, who has appeared a few times on High Stakes Pokerduring the current Season 14, folded.

Both players agreed to run the board twice, which gave each a solid chance to at least chop the pot given it was a standard race situation. The first board came J♥K♠7♣10♣7♦, a full house for Rampage and some outs taken away from Perkins.

The five community cards on the second runout were 10♦8♠4♣Q♦5♣, nice and clean for Rampage, who scooped the entire $346,000 pot. It was one of the biggest hands he's won on livestream in recent months, but certainly not the largest pot he's played.

The livestream ran for over eight hours. Rampage, thanks in part to winning with pocket jacks, was the biggest winner in the game with a $233,000 profit. Perkins finished play down $64,000.
