Anthony Zinno Catches Runner, Runner To Bust Ben Jones In Second Place
Jul 19, '18
Ben Jones raised to 200,000 on the button, and Anthony Zinno three-bet to 800,000.
Jones then announced all-in, and Zinno quickly called, tabling AJ. Jones, however, had him dominated with AK.
The flop of K66 pretty much locked up the double for Jones, until the J on the turn produced a little drama.
Zinno’s rail exploded, however, when the J hit the river to give him trips and the tournament.
Jones officially walks away with $390,956 for his runner-up finish, after the two players made a deal during heads-up play. Zinno takes home the title, the trophy, and the $466,670 first-place prize.
Congratulations to Anthony Zinno, winner of the 2018 CPPT Venetian DeepStack Championship Poker Series main event!

Anthony Zinno Loses A Wild One To Bust
Jul 18, '16
Anthony Zinno had gotten short but picked up pocket kings preflop and was able to get his stack all in. The bad news? He had run into the AA of Joe Kuether.
Zinno took the lead in dramatic fashion on a KJJ flop and was looking really good to double up after the J hit the turn.
The A on the river gave Kuether the higher full house though and Zinno was sent to the rail.
Kuether chipped up to 18,000 after the hand.
