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.
