Biography

WPT Global ambassador Ethan Yau is one of the absolute titans in the poker vlogging space and has gone from playing $1/$2 to some of the highest stakes games imaginable in just a few years. Yau has found success not just on YouTube, but also on the green felt itself and is a WSOP bracelet winner as well as a two-time WPT Champion. In addition to those titles, he's found success on the WSOP Circuit and has WSOPC five rings to his name.

Yau regularly appears on poker live streams such as Hustler Casino Live and The Lodge Poker Club and took part in the former's Million Dollar buy-in cash game.

Known to the online world as "Rampage Poker", he earned his fame as a poker vlogger with a channel on YouTube that chronicles his poker ventures worldwide.

Echoing other influencers in this niche, like Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme, he offers an insider look into what being a professional poker player entails - revealing both triumphant victories and challenging defeats.

Poker Achievements

While regularly found in the cash game streets, Yau also has a penchant for tournament poker. His first recorded cash came in 2019, and since then, he's amassed over $2 million in live tournament earnings.

Yau is a regular fixture at World Series of Poker, World Poker Tour and European Poker Tour stops.

He won his sole bracelet during the 2020 WSOP Online, winning Event 26: $500 No Limit Hold'em - Grande Finale for $164,494.

His next marquee triumph came the following year, where he won a Mid-Stakes Poker Tour event for $230,379.

His two wins at the WPT also came in quick succession. His first WPT accolade came in December 2022 after he beat Kevin Rabichow in heads-up play to capture the WPT World Championship $25K High Roller title. He pocketed the $894,240 up top, marking the biggest cash of his career. Then, in September 2023, he won the WPT Australia Gold Coast Mini Main Event for a further $95,952.
