Zinno Climbs Into Contention

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Anthony Zinno
Anthony Zinno

Last year was a huge one for American Anthony Zinno. He won back-to-back WPT titles to start the year, booked a massive WSOP bracelet win in the summer, and in his chase to win GPI Player of the Year, he scoured the globe plying his trade, even winning an EPT side event in Malta.

While he fell just shy of winning the coveted POY title, he still amassed $3,778,904 in tournament winnings and had the kind of year the poker world won't soon forget.

Zinno now has two legs of Poker's triple crown, but the third, an EPT Main Event title, has still eluded him.

That may soon change, though, as he's here in Dublin and is making a run at it on Day 2. Moments ago, he saw Florian Decamps fire 3,700 at him heads-up on an {8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board to the turn.

Zinno responded with a raise to 10,000, but Decamps hung around. Finally, when Decamps checked the {a-Diamonds} river, Zinno bet a healthy 11,000. Decamps mulled it over for a few seconds before making the call. He mucked when Zinno turned over the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flush.

With that pot, Zinno crested the 200,000-chip mark and now sits among the leaders.
