WATCH: Poker Pro Mariano Plays His Hand Blind And Brutally Scoops RampageYouTube Vloggers Battle For Stacks On Hustler Casino Live |

Two of poker’s most popular vloggers squared off recently on Hustler Casino Live for a pot of almost $200,000. Although Mariano Grandoli and Ethan ‘Rampage’ Yau are good friends, there was nothing friendly about the runout that resulted in one player getting felted.
The game featured blinds of $25-$50 with a $50 big blind ante, and on this particular hand there was a straddle and double straddle to $400. Mariano told the table he was going to change things up by limping in blind. Two other players called, and then Mariano encouraged a check from Rampage in the straddle, who was holding 10 7
.
The flop came down K 10
7
. It checked to Rampage, who bet $3,000 with bottom two pair. That prompted Mariano to finally look at his hand, which was K
J
. He raised to $6,000 with top pair to get the pot heads-up with Rampage, who reraised to $15,000.
Mariano thought about it a bit before announcing all in. Rampage would have to call off the last of his $79,775, but was a 67% favorite to win the pot, according to the Card Player Poker Odds Calculator.
Rampage Gets Felted
Rampage eventually talked himself into a call. When all the chips were counted, the two were playing for a pot of $191,175.
“We’re still friends if you beat me,” Rampage added.
They elected to run the turn and river twice. The first runout brought the 4 followed by the J
to hand Mariano a better two pair.
That was followed by the K on the turn of the second runout for three of a kind, followed by the Q
on the river. A 2-to-1 underdog to win the hand initially, Mariano instead won both runouts to add significantly to his bankroll.
“I have no more money,” Rampage announced as he stood up and took off his microphone.
