Ethan “WPT123” Yau will play his biggest poker game in months ($50/$100) on Hustler Casino Live Thursday night, and don’t expect him to play tighter than in the past.

Hustler Casino Live has two epic games scheduled to close out the week, both starting at 5 p.m. PT on YouTube and Kick. Thursday’s lineup includes the aforementioned poker vlogger, Eshaan “Brownballa” Bhalla, and poker vlogger Mariano Grandoli. Friday’s lineup figures to be one of the most entertaining in the show’s history, with WPT123 coming back to join two major non-poker celebrities — rapper Lil Pump and former NFL superstar running back Adrian Peterson.

Peterson, one of the top rushers in NFL history and a University of Oklahoma legend, will make his first livestreamed poker appearance. But he’s known to frequent the cash games in Houston. “All Day,” a nickname his dad gave him for having great stamina on the football field, is a future Pro Football Hall of Fame lock. For now, he can focus on proving he can run bluffs like he did the football.

WPT123 Poker is Back

WPT123 last appeared in a high stakes Hustler Casino Live game in March. He was originally slated to play in the HCL Million Dollar Games in May, but backed out last minute as he was on a downswing and didn’t find it to be financially wise to risk a million bucks. He hasn’t since competed in the big games outside of an appearance at The Lodge Card Club in Austin, Texas in October.

The popular vlogger who went from playing $1/$2 games to competing for hundreds of thousands in a matter of months has often been criticized by poker fans for playing in games they perceive to be above his bankroll. They also love to give him a hard time when he punts in those big games, and that has happened, by his own admission, quite a few times.

While there’s no way to predict the outcome of his performance this week on Hustler Casino Live, it doesn’t appear his strategy will be any different than past appearances on the show.

“With the bankroll on the table, some things never change,” WPT123 said. “Can’t wait to see who I can bluff off today.”

WPT123, a WPT Global ambassador, is back, and that’s a positive for his fans and for Hustler Casino Live as the show attempts to increase viewership following the Nick Vertucci controversy. There’s only one question left to be answered — will the poker world be referring to the high roller as “WPT123” or “Rampunts” at the end of the week? Tune in at 5 p.m. PT Thursday and Friday to find out.
