Anthony Zinno,the lawyer-turned-poker pro from Boston,dominated much of the three-day tournament and was an unstoppable force at the final table.Despite formidable opponents, Zinno was never seriously threatened during the final several hours of the tourney and managed to win by making things look far too easy.

Many congratulations to Anthony Zinno on winning his first bracelet and over a million dollars in prize money. This tournament attracted all the top names so extra kudos for winning it goes to him
This final table was packed with nationalities from all around the world, nice change from the usual homogenic WSOP finishes where the americans blow everybody out of the water. PLO must be friggin huge in Scandinavia by the looks of it.

A great win for a player who has been trying to win one for a long time and the million dollars plus is brilliant.Definitely deserves it,3 days of playing Omaha against top players would be a nightmare for me!!

Three days playing Omaha against really $hitty players would be just as soulcrushing tbh. But the potential money in both cases would definitely cheer me up!
Congratulations! He is a former lawyer turned poker pro? Looks rather like a gangster in my opinion. He played perfectly and that 1 000 000 dollars prize has to be very satisfying.
Yeah, he is very keen on this wiseguy look - to be honest the amount of money he gathered since he started to play professionally should be enough for some decent wardrobe adjustments but I guess there is really no account for taste. At least it's not a hawaiian shirt.
