A Clash of Champions
Over on one of the first tables we spotted in the poker room, we noticed two of poker's biggest stars side by side. Three-time World Poker Tour champion Anthony Zinno will be flanked by two-time WPT and three-time World Series of Poker champion Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi.
Mizrachi ranks 11th in the world on the all-time money list with $14.6 million in career earnings, and in total he has five seven-figure scores on his poker résumé.
Zinno had a breakout performance at the 2013 Borgata Poker Open World Poker Tour event when he beat Vanessa Selbst heads up for the title. Less than two years later Zinno won two more WPT events, the 2015 LAPC and the 2015 Fallsview Poker Classic. In total Zinno has $3.1 million in career earnings, and he ranks 13th on the GPI 300 list.
