Zanot Runs Into Richez's Kings

David Salituro

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

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.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Rafael Moraes opened to 60,000 in the hijack and Jordan Jayne defended from the big blind. The flop came K♦Q♦3♠ and Jayne check-called a bet of 50,000 from Moraes.

The turn was the 5♠ and Jayne checked again. Moraes sized up a bet of 165,000 on the turn and Jayne still called. The Q♥ paired the board on the river and both players tapped the table. Jayne tabled A♦2♦ for just ace-high and Moraes couldn't beat it.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A massive pile of chips amounting to more than 1,000,000 was already in the middle as Bryan Obregon and Aditya Systla went heads-up to the river on a board of A♠9♥Q♥2♣6♠.

Obregon, in middle position, then bet another 975,000 as Systla went into the tank. He eventually put in the chips to call and Obregon turned over 2♠2♦ for a set.

Systla calmly said "nice hand" and took a sip from his coffee cup as he watched the pot head over to Obregon.

Charlie Chiu and Gabi Livshitz were heads up to turn on 5♦A♠10♠J♠ in a pot of around 275,000. Both players checked it and the 6♣ river was dealt.

Chiu now bet out 290,000, a slight overbet. Livshitz went into the tank for a few minutes but eventually folded his "sh*tty bluff-catcher."

"Show, it's good for the game!" Livshitz requested. However, Chiu denied and play continued.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

After losing a massive pot to Andrew Hulme, Hermilo Garza was in the action once again.

Benjamin Grise had bet 450,000 into the pot of about 800,000 on the completed board of J♥9♠8♠8♣K♠, and Hermilo Garza shoved for his last 760,000.

Grise snap-called to see Garza's J♣J♠ for jacks full of eights, but it was no good as Grise tabled K♦K♣, eliminating Garza with a bigger full house.

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Nicholas Rigby opened to 80,000 from under the gun only to see Camden Mariotti three-bet to 225,000 in middle position. Action folded back around to Rigby who four-bet enough to force Mariotti all in with the latter calling off for his remaining 755,000.

Camden Mariotti: J♠J♣
Nicholas Rigby: A♥K♠

Mariotti would need to win a flip to survive but that seemed an unlikely outcome after the flop came A♣7♠6♥. The 9♠ turn left Mariotti needing to find a jack on the river to survive but he was unable to do so with the 3♥ completing the board instead.
