Griffin Abel opens to 12,000 and it folds around to Ammar Alobaidy who three-bets to 31,000, but then Ethan ‘Rampage’ Yao four-bets to 80,000. 

Abel gets out of the way but Alobaidy does the opposite and rips it all in for over 400,000, sending Yao deep into the tank. 

After burning 3 time banks, Yao finally makes the call and the two table their hands in the biggest pot of the day.
