angelcamina knows the Jerome Gambit.
He plays it well.
He plays it rapidly.
I have to wonder how much "muscle memory" adds to his frequent successes.

11.f4
Standard Jerome move.
11...d6 12.b3 Qe7 13.Ba3
Target: the pawn on d6.
13...Be6
Taking the Queen off of the a3-f8 diagonal was a safer idea.
14.Qd3
Stockfish 16.1 goes through quite a dance to convince me that 14.Qb5 would lead to a draw - but angelcamina is not looking for a draw.
14...Kg8 15.e5
Black needs to take a deep breath and reassure himself that his position is still a little bit better.
15...dxe5
The clock? Maybe, this is a 1-minute game.
Nerves? Speed can set them jangling.
Trying to figure out a messy position out of a messy opening?
Could be: it is the Jerome Gambit.
The right move is 15...Ne8
16.Bxe7 exf4 17.Bxf6 gxf6 18.Qg6+
The Queen is on a checkmating mission - after picking up substantial material.
18...Kf8 19.Qxf6+ Bf7 20.Qxh8+ Ke7 21.Qxa8 Black resigned
