Anthony Zinno is in the house!
The World Poker Tour Season 13 Player of the Year was one of the hottest players in poker in 2015. That’s when he won both the 2015 WPT L.A. Poker Classic for $1,015,860 and Fallsview Poker Classic for $302,235. Toss in a win in the WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star $25,000 High Roller for $197,758 and capturing his first bracelet in the World Series of Poker Event #60: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller for $1,122,196, well let’s just say it was a remarkable year for Zinno.
Zinno won $3,778,904 in 2015 and he followed that up a year later by winning $1,060,893, which included $319,407 for finishing sixth in the EPT12 Grand Final €25,000 High Roller.
It’s still early in 2017, but Zinno already has $71,781 in earnings thanks in no small part to a runner-up finish in the WPT LAPC Event #57: $5,250 Pot-Limit Omaha for $59,655. Only time will tell if the man from Massachusetts can make it three seven-figure years in a row.
