WPH #496: ROYAL FLUSH For Rampage Poker!!!!!!

Have you ever hit a royal flush? Not everyone has, but in a recent cash game in Las Vegas, Rampage hit the best hand in poker during a bomb pot. The popular poker vlogger even caught the huge pot on camera!

When you are in a position where your opponents are unlikely to have a super strong hand, it might be a good time to use a small bet size. This allows you to sneak out a little extra value from weak poker hands that would fold to a big bet. Simultaneously, you give some stronger hands and bluffs a chance to raise and re-open the action.

Ethan Yau, a.k.a Rampage, is a popular YouTuber and poker player. He has over 267,000 subscribers on YouTube and has won over $2,100,000 in tournament earnings, including a $900,000 win in a December 2022 World Poker Tour (WPT) High Roller at the Wynn.

The turn completes the flush. The big blind checks once more but this doesn’t slow down UTG+2 who continues for a much healthier bet of $125. Rampage now has the nut flush with a draw to the ultimate royal flush! The big blind also makes the call.

🌊 River – Td

WPH #495: ANDY STACKS Is FURIOUS!!!!!!

Is this an unspoken rule of poker streams that should just never happen? Andy Stacks is furious at the newcomer Eric who is gracing the popular Hustler Casino Live stream for the first time. What are your thoughts on what happens? Is Andy right or wrong?

Henry is introduced as a financial professional and has become a regular poker player on Hustler Casino Live. Eric was appearing for the first time on the show and had been invited by Saya Ono, little more is known about him. Andy Stacks is a well known professional poker player & GGPoker Ambassador originally from Taiwan who currently resides in Los Angeles, United States. Over the last decade, Andy Stacks has established himself as one of the most recognizable faces on live poker streams playing regularly on ‘Hustler Casino Live’ and ‘Live At The Bike’. Andy is known for his calm and quiet demeanor at the poker table and was given his nickname “Andy Stacks” from the monstrous towers of poker chips that are almost always in front of him.

Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high-value poker production. Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino’s high-limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state-of-the-art live poker show. Hustler Casino Live looks more like coverage of a TV broadcast sporting event and appeals to those beyond the poker community. Unscripted and unedited, they host regular poker streams such as ‘Max Pain Monday’ and ‘Thirsty Thursday’. Some of the notable poker players to appear on the show have been Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan – durrrr, Phil Hellmuth, Chris Moneymaker, Doug Polk – WCGRider, Garrett Adelstein – GMan, Tony G, and many more.

The Hustler Casino was founded by the late Larry Flynt. It has been operational since June 22, 2000. It is located in Gardena, California about 25km south of downtown Los Angeles. It has poker, table games, and slots.

This high stakes poker hand took place at the Hustler Casino Live casino in Los Angeles, California.

🃏 Preflop: The action starts with Henry who opts to raise with K9s from the cutoff, Will defends his big blind with QJo. Eric in the straddle looks down at pocket jacks aka the Jiggities and decides to 3-bet to $6,400. Both Henry and Will decide to call as all three of them head to the flop.

đŸ”„ Flop – Kd Kc 9c: Henry couldn’t have really asked for a better flop as he cannot believe his eyes as he flops a full house! Will, who has a gutshot, decides to check to the preflop aggressor. Eric continues to tell his story of strength with a small continuation bet of $6,000. Henry correctly identifies that this is a spot that he should slowplay and elects for a call. Will folds in the big blind.

đŸ’Ș Turn – Jc: The turn is an absolute disaster for Eric but he doesn’t know it as he now hits a full house too. Eric now thinks he is laying the trap as he decides to get tricky and check. Henry quite rightly wants to keep building a pot and sends out a bet of $15,000. Eric makes an easy call. He doesn’t want to scare his opponent away in case he is bluffing as he believes he has the hand locked up!

🚀 River – 2d: The river card changes nothing in their relative hand strength. Eric decides to check again, praying that Henry fires again. His prayers are answered as Henry shoves for $48,500 into the $62,500 pot. Eric snap calls and is shown the terrible news, his full house is no good!

WPH #494: Brad Owen BLASTS OFF With 72o!

Popular poker vlogger Brad Owen finds himself playing in a high stakes cash game and the 72o game is on! If he wins a hand with 72o then every player has to pay him $200 which is a huge $1400. Can Brad find a way to win with the worst hand in poker??

Get exclusive access to PokerCoaching’s Advanced Cash Game Course and much more over at https://PokerCoaching.com

Brad Owen is a WPT ambassador and co-owner of The Lodge Card Club in Texas, he is a very successful YouTube poker vlogger with over 700,000 subscribers. His YouTube channel has had over 172,000,000 views. Primarily a cash game player Brad has started playing more tournaments since the start of 2022, his lifetime total live tournament winnings is over $480,000. His biggest cash for $125,000 came in May 2023 when he came 4th in the $5,250 WPT Main Event in Los Angeles.

Ivey’s Room, located at Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, was established in 2010. Named after the legendary poker pro Phil Ivey, the high-stakes poker room quickly gained a reputation as a hotspot for professional and high-stakes players. Over the years, it hosted some of the most intense poker action in Las Vegas, attracting renowned players. In 2019, the room underwent renovations and rebranding as “Table 1.” Although no longer carrying Phil Ivey’s name, it remains a prominent venue for high-stakes poker and exclusive gaming experiences. Today, Table 1 at Aria continues to offer a luxurious and private poker setting for players seeking top-level competition and service in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.

đŸ”„ Brace yourselves for jaw-dropping action at the Aria Hotel & Casino’s legendary Table 1 in Las Vegas! In this $25/$50 cash game, poker sensation & popular vlogger Brad Owen unleashes an audacious play with the infamous 72o, the worst starting hand in poker.

🎉 The 7-2 Game: It is important to note that this table is playing the 7-2 game. Any player that wins with this hand and opts to show the table will collect a $200 bounty from each player, this creates extremely fun dynamics at the table as players will play extremely aggressively with this hand rather than just making the standard fold preflop!

🃏 Preflop: Brad Owen opens the action under the gun with a raise to $200 with the not so beautiful 72o. In an ideal situation everyone would just fold preflop for him to collect the easiest $1,400 of his life, but alas in a high stakes poker game that rarely happens and in this case he picks up two callers from the cutoff and button.

đŸ”„ Flop – Qc 6d 3c: It’s very unlikely you will hit a good flop when holding the 72o and that is no different here as Brad flops absolutely nothing. This doesn’t slow him down though as he has his eyes on the $1,400 jackpot. He continues his story with a half pot bet of $400. That forces the cutoff to fold but unfortunately for Brad the button decides to stick around for the turn card.

đŸ’Ș Turn – 8h: Brad Owen now only has to get through one player and continues betting this time for just over 2/3 pot as he fires $1,110 into the $1,575 pot. His prayers are not answered as the button calls once more.

🚀 River – 5s: The river provides some promise for Brad as he now has a card that blocks some straights. He decides to fire the third barrel and opts for a $1,700 bet. Will his opponent fold so that Brad can triumphantly reveal the 7-2 bluff and collect the $1,400 prize from his opponents? Watch this poker video to find out!

Robl has been on many live streams and is known to be a big winner in some of the highest stakes cash games all around the world. Tan Xuan is a businessman and amateur poker player from China. He has over $8,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 150 on the all-time money list. This Triton Poker Series London 2023 Cash Game featured: Andrew Robl, Elton Tsang, Wiktor “”Limitless”” Malinowski, Daniel “”Jungleman”” Cates, Danny Tang & Tan Xuan. This high stakes poker game was held during the Triton London Series at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House, London, United Kingdom, it had 17 poker tournaments ranging with buy-ins from $26,500 up to $200,000 in No Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha and Short-Deck.

This intense face-off features poker heavyweights Andrew ‘good2cu’ Robl (UTG) and wealthy businessman Tan Xuan, creating a high-stakes battleground between a professional poker player and an amateur.

🃏 Pre-flop: With blinds at $1,000/$2,000 and a $2,000 big blind ante, the action kicks off with Robl who decides to make an interesting limp under-the-gun with his pocket queens.

Xuan in the big blind looks down at A8s and decides that the price of poker needs to go up even further and bumps it up to $45,000! Robl now opts for the tricky limp-raise and fires it up to $120,000. Tsang sensing a trap decides to fold but Xuan came to gamble and decides to make a questionable call!

🌈 The Flop: 9s 6s 4s The flop is the most beautiful flop for Xuan as he has now flopped the nut flush. He decides to check in flow to the preflop aggressor praying that Robl will bet. His dream comes to life as Robl opts for a small 20% bet of $50,000. Both players are fairly shallow stacked after the pre-flop action so Xuan decides to put the rest of the money in and sets Robl all-in for $138,000. Robl who is now pretty much pot committed makes the call as the pot swells to a huge $529,000. He is quickly delivered the bad news but will the run out of the board help him ship over half a million dollars? Watch this video to find out!

WPH #491: WHAT JUST HAPPENED???????



This high stakes poker hand from Hustler Casino Live needs to be watched to be believed! Andy Stacks takes on the infamous Martin Kabrhel and decides to run a rather crazy 3 barrel bluff, but will it work?

Jonathan believes that the preflop raise from Andy Stacks might be a little bit loose with just J9 offsuit as there are still 4 people left to act. You should use suited hands to raise as they give you more equity to hit flushes!

He likes Andy’s bet on the flop as usually when you have a draw that completely lacks showdown value you usually want to bet as you can get a lot of better hands to fold and if you are called you still have equity to make a very strong hand!

When you are playing in extremely deep stacked cash games your semi bluffs should come from hands that are drawing to the nuts or very close to the nuts! Andy has a pretty bad draw with no backdoor clubs on the flop.

Jonathan would have preferred Andy to use a hand like AT to bluff with because at least it is drawing to the nuts and may also be strong enough to win if he were to hit an ace.

He does like the fact that Andy now bluffs the river when the ace comes as it puts a lot of Martin’s hands in the world of pain, like the one that he has! The shove from Martin is fairly confusing as he has a good hand to bluff catch with especially as his shove will give Andy incredible odds to call if he were to have a stronger hand.

The action in this crazy high stakes poker hand starts with Andy Stacks raising from the cutoff to $2,400 with J9o. Infamous table talker Martin Kabrhel deciding to defend from the 3rd blind with KJc.

The flop gives Martin a monster pair and a flush draw and gives Andy just a gutshot. Andy continues to tell his story with a $2,300 bet but Martin is going nowhere! He decides to put in the check raise to $7,000. Andy then responds with a 3-bet to $20,000! Martin makes the easy call.

The turn brings no help to Andy as it is an off suit 6. Martin checks to him and Andy decides to keep bluffing and bets $42,000 with just jack high! Martin again makes the call.

The river is an off suit ace which can’t be too thrilling for Kabrhel. He checks once more and Andy decides to go for the third barrel and fires $150,000 on the river! What will Martin do when facing such a large bet? Watch this video to find out more!

WPH #490: Folding KINGS Preflop – NO WAY????



Have you ever folded pocket kings preflop? Not many people have, especially when they only have 19 big blinds in a poker tournament! Watch to see if Juan Pardo can make the correct fold in a $125,000 Triton Poker Main Event in London. He gets a bit of extra information in this poker hand that he shouldn’t have had. That might make this decision a little easier. What do you think?

Only 6 players remain in the $125,000 Triton Main Event and the ICM pressure is huge as the pay jumps for each place are extremely significant. Juan Pardo will be fully aware of this which could factor into his decision as he sits there with the 2nd best hand in all of poker.

Jonathan agrees with Chidwick’s decision to cold 4-bet from the small blind vs the 3-bet from Thorel. AK suited is a poker hand that should be more than happy getting all of the money in for less than 40 big blinds preflop. One of the first things you learn as a poker player is that when it goes raise, re-raise and then re-raise from 3 different players – you should fold almost everything! This includes Dan ‘Jungleman’ Cates’ pocket jacks that he correctly pitches into the muck very quickly when facing the 4-bet from Chidwick.

Jonathan is shocked that Juan Pardo managed to find the correct fold with pocket kings in this spot. You just have to know so specifically that one of your opponents has aces to find this fold. Jonathan says that Chidwick is often going to use Ax as 4-bet bluffs and even his 4-bets for value which then will block the combinations of specifically pocket aces that Thorel could have.

Jean-Noel Thorel is a 76 year old French amateur poker player. He has over $13,800,800 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 100 on the all-time money list, and 2nd on the French all time money list. He is an entrepreneur and pharmacist. He is the founder and CEO of Naos, a French cosmetics company. This poker result was a career high score for him.

Stephen Chidwick is a 34 year old professional poker player from England. He has over $53,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him top 5 on the all-time money list.

Juan Pardo DomĂ­nguez is a professional poker player from Spain. He has over $8,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him 169th on the all-time money list.

This Triton series was held at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House, London, United Kingdom, it had 17 events ranging with buy-ins from $25,000 up to $200,000 in No Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha and Short-Deck.

đŸ”„ This hand took place during the 2023 $125,000 Triton Poker Series London Main Event! The blinds were at 200k/400k/400k(Big Blind Ante) and this preflop war will have you on the edge of your seat!

đŸ’„ Pre-flop Fireworks: Juan Pardo, a high stakes poker professional from Spain, opens the action with a raise to 400,000 from under the gun, but Thorel in the hijack quickly responds with a 3-bet to 1,000,000. The plot thickens as Stephen Chidwick in the small blind decides to make his move, and 4-bets to 2,300,000. In an unexpected turn, Thorel makes an out-of-turn shove, putting his entire stack of 7,700,000 on the line. With this extra information Pardo decides to make the fold, and Chidwick now faces a crucial decision for almost 20 big blinds. Find out what they all had by watching this poker video!
