Friday night's Hustler Casino Live$25/$50 game has been cruel to future Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Adrian Peterson, especially after a bad beat he took from rapper Lil Pump, who doesn't even know how to play.
The hand took place about 90 minutes into the stream, and the game was still running at the time of publishing. Peterson, the NFL's fifth all-time leading rusher, retired from football in 2021, and he just might want to retire from poker before this game ends.
"All Day," as the 2012 NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP) is often called, quickly lost his initial $5,000 buy-in. It took him little time to spin his second bullet up and was actually a bit ahead on the session when he ran into a brutal situation against the man who performed "Gucci Gang," a rap song with over 1.1 billion views on YouTube.
Ethan "Rampage" Yau made his triumphant return to livestreamed high stakes poker on Hustler Casino Livelast night. He came back for a smaller but equally entertaining game on Friday, and PokerNewspondered a possible scenario that almost came to fruition.

The hand began with Jarvis calling the $50 big blind from under the gun with 9♣6♠, Lil Pump, playing in his first ever poker game, called with "The Robbie," — J♠4♠. Rampage then min-raised to $100 with 2♠2♦. Poker vlogger Mariano Grandoli called with Q♠5♦in the lowjack, as did Frazier Kay in the hijack with Q♥10♠.
Nothing but premium hands and GTO poker to this point. "3Coin," in the cutoff with only a 9♥visible, three-bet to $300. Peterson, who had K♦3♦in the small blind, called, as did Mr. Dr. Batman from the big blind with 8♣6♣. No one already in the pot folded and the hand went to a seven-way flop, which came out 4♦J♦7♠.
With seven players in the pot, it was no surprise that the flop hit a couple of them. Both blinds checked, but Lil Pump bet $400 with two pair. Rampage, drawing to a two-outer, called. The hand then folded around to the NFL superstar who made the call, as did the big blind.

The turn was the 10♦, which gave Peterson a king-high flush. He checked, the big blind checked, and Lil Pump made another $400 wager. Rampage, who had been helping explain how to play poker to the rapper, raised it to $1,400 drawing dead. Peterson continued to slowplay the second nuts and just called. Lil Pump, who only had $825 behind, nearly tossed his cards in the muck before asking for some assistance from the other players.
Rampage couldn't help him this time as he was also still in the hand. He would eventually, at the suggestion of another player in the game, make the call, and then he would get rewarded for his decision when the J♥appeared on the river.
Lil Pump turned over rivered full house, which put the football legend on brief tilt.
"Are you f*****g serious?" Peterson asked upon losing the pot.
Peterson quickly calmed down and was actually up a small amount for the session at the time of publishing.
