Smith Collapse 

In Poker, when someone is leading the chip lead for most of the night, then, when the tournament is close to the end, the unfortunate donkey unwittingly plays with so much overconfidence that they go all in with a semi-decent hand and get outdrawn to lose their stash.
Holy Ace of Spades, Karl was victimized by the ole' Smith Collapse again...that's the third poker tournament in a row that he blew his load all over the poker table. What a donkey!

Sleeper agent styled collapse

To collapse in a sleeper agent style, originates from sleeper agent + styled (suffix) + collapse
Hearing the song Pixel Pig by Di Young triggers a sleeper agent styled collapse because Sashley used this song for the XD Animation meme.

Mr. Olympia bodybuilders stage collapse

Mr. Olympia bodybuilders stage collapse is when a bodybuilder literally collapses on stage due to muscle cramps and fainting and lacking electrolytes. Sometimes they survive and someone gives them Gatorade or Pedialyte. But sometimes they die. Or they get a heart attack and go to the hospital because of lacking electrolytes. And most times, they're not given electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Chloride) on time and they die. So basically, bring a bottle of Gatorade with you when bodybuilding, or you could end up dying. Imagine posing on stage and falling down and professionals rushing to give you help is the last thing you see before you die. The vast majority of deaths occur on stage. And then they end up in a bodybag. Rip bro. :'(
Tony: I'm on stage for Mr. Olympia, but brought Gatorade because I don't want to die. I don't want to be a Mr. Olympia bodybuilders stage collapse statistic.
