Ethan "Rampage" Yau Fades the Jinx and Wins WPT $25K High Roller

Poker players have a habit of jinxing or "bokking" themselves when it comes to making predictions about how their tournament will end up. All too often, someone will post a tweet stating they're the chip leader at the final table only to be the first finalists out of the door. Remember how Mark Newhouse famously said "I'm not finishing ninth again," only to finish ninth in back-to-back WSOP Main Events?

Ethan "Rampage" Yau tweeted what turned out to be an anti-jinx. Yau had navigated his way through the majority of the 108-striong field in the $25,700 High Roller event at the WPT World Championships at The Venetian Las Vegas.
