Rampage Wants the 'Chat Pros' to Bet Against Him at the World Series of Poker
Ethan "Rampage" Yau is putting his money where his mouth is heading into the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP), and he's asking for the "chat pros" to do the same.
The popular poker vlogger who isn't afraid to gamble for massive stakes called out his doubters on X in hopes of securing what could be the biggest prop bet of the summer that doesn't involve Landon Tice and Jeremy Becker, unless of course they want in on the action.
"Idea for WSOP prop bet, would anyone be interested in fading me and my entire schedule? I’m 0/2 in profitable summers lifetime and looking to make things interesting. Looking to increase my exposure x2 basically and the fader acts as casino. If I brick a 5K, I lose extra 5K on top within prop bet. If I min cash a 5K for 9K, I’ll profit an extra 4K. Winning a 5K for $300K~ then I profit 295K. Looking for action for my whole schedule or capped to a buy in amount. Chat pros, your time to step up and put your money where your Twitter thumbs are," Yau tweeted.
Who Will Step Up to the Plate and Accept Poker Vlogger's Offer?
Rampage, a 2020 online bracelet winner and six-time World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) ring champion, is one of the most polarizing figures in the game. His YouTube channel has nearly 300,000 subscribers, many of whom are loyal fans who have followed his action from $1/$3 all the way up to playing in $1 million buy-in games.
But the vlogger has his share of detractors, those who claim he plays too big and doesn't belong at the nosebleed stakes. Those individuals now have an opportunity to prove they are right, so long as they are willing to gamble.
It's unlikely Rampage will get anyone to bite on his suggested prop bet as he'd be risking far less than his opponent would be given that he's risking a tournament buy-in against potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars if he were to run deep in a few events. Still, the offer is out there if any chat pros don't believe the vlogger can turn a profitable summer, which he's failed to do twice, according to his tweet.
Rampage, who will be competing in the $1 million cash game on Hustler Casino Live next month, is actually an accomplished tournament player. Beyond winning a bracelet and having over $2.4 million in The Hendon Mob cashes, he's also won World Poker Tour (WPT) and PokerGO Tour (PGT) events. And in 33 sessions on Hustler Casino Live, he's profited just under $1 million, according to TrackingPoker.com. But if you think he's a fish and will get crushed this summer at the WSOP, he appears willing to take your action.
