China’s Yinan Zhou made history in the Bahamas when he captured the inaugural WSOP Paradise Super Main Event title, defeating a field of 1,978 entries to earn $6,000,000 and his first bracelet.

The 24-year-old became the first-ever Super Main Event champion after a fearless performance that included bluffing one of poker’s toughest players, Michael Addamo, and eliminating his poker idol, Justin Bonomo.

“I played at the final table with my idol and busted him,” Zhou said after his win. “That’s awesome.”
