Zanot Runs Into Richez's Kings
Thomas Zanot won a $6,000,000 jackpot playing Pai Gow earlier this year. But the poker pro won't be adding the $12,100,000 Main Event top prize after a preflop all in confrontation against Clement Richez.
Zanot three-bet to 180,000 from middle position before Richez made it 525,000. Zanot then shoved all in for around 1,600,000 and Richez snap-called.
Thomas Zanot: A?9?
Clement Richez: K?K?
Richez asked the dealer to hold up dealing the flop as he whipped out his phone and began taking pictures of the action as the board finally came 4?7?K?, giving him top set.
"That's a good start," Zanot said, resigned to his fate as 6? turn left him drawing dead heading to the 9? river as Richez scooped the massive pot.
Shortly after, Harsheel Kothari eliminated Maryjo Zogman on the same table.
