Los Ángeles, CA (febrero) 17, 2015) -- Anthony Zinno captured his second World Poker Tour® title in as many seasons on Monday, topping a field of 419 players to win the CAD $5,000 buy-in, televised WPT® Fallsview Poker Classic. Zinno earned CAD $380,021, que incluía un $15,400 Asiento en el Campeonato Mundial WPT de final de temporada en abril 24 En el Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, un Hublot Oceanographic 4000 reloj y un par de 24K® Auriculares Monster por su victoria.

Zinno joins 20 other players with multiple WPT titles, including three-time champions Gus Hansen and Carlos Mortsensen, two-time Season XIII champion Darren Elias, and legends such as Antonio Esfandiari, Barry Greenstein, Daniel Negreanu, JC Tran, and Michael Mizrachi. Zinno also passed Elias in the Season XIII Hublot WPT Player of the Year race, assuming pole position heading into the California Swing.

"Todo ha ido muy bien", dijo Zinno después de la victoria. “Creo que es una combinación de bendición, suerte y trabajo duro. La victoria es enorme. Tener dos trofeos y ser el actual líder del Jugador del Año es igual de enorme”.

Zinno entered heads-up play against Mark Bailey with a two-to-one chip advantage, and never relinquished his lead. On the final hand, Bailey moved all in with an ace-high flush draw and Zinno had him at risk with pocket kings. Neither the turn nor the river produced a club or an ace, and Zinno was crowned the champion. Bailey earned CAD $266,394 por sus esfuerzos

La mesa final del WPT Fallsview Poker Classic comenzó con fuerza, y tanto Erik Cajelais como Jeremy Halaska fueron eliminados en las dos primeras manos. Cajelais fue eliminado en sexto lugar cuando hizo all-in preflop desde las ciegas con as-dos, y Corey Hochman, el que subió originalmente, pagó con un as dominante. La mano de Hochman se levantó y Cajelais cayó al suelo. En la mano siguiente, Jeremy Halaska hizo all-in después de hacer un par de reyes en el turn. Zinno igualó su apuesta all-in con un trío de diez, y Halaska no pudo hacer un doble para mantenerse con vida, quedando en quinto lugar.

David Cloutier bowed out in fourth place 27 hands later, re-raising all in preflop with queen-five suited. Hochman, the original raiser, called with a pair of eights, and Cloutier did not improve his hand. Despite recording two of the first three knockouts, Hochman was unable to reach heads-up play, exiting on Hand #70. Facing a preflop raise from Zinno, Hochman moved all in with king-ten, and Zinno called with ace-queen. Zinno’s hand held on the flop, turn, and river, and Hochman was eliminated in third place.
