The Muck: Did 'Rampage' Set a Bad Precedent Refunding Poker Backers?

Related Topics: Shaun Deeb, Doug Polk

Although his StakeKings investors didn't buy into his second bullet in the $25,700 High Roller at Wynn, Ethan "Rampage" Yau refunded their money after winning the tournament, but was criticized for doing so. Do they have a valid point? Let's dig in.

In this edition of The Muck, we share the poker community's take on what turned out to be a controversial issue.

On his first bullet, Rampage sold action on StakeKings but busted quickly. He then rebought, but this time on his own dime, which meant the backers from the initial buy in had no stake in the $894,240 he won in the high roller.
