New Additions and Updated Chip Counts

Will Shillibier

Level 3 : 200/400, 50 ante

The winner of yesterday's $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha, Shaun Deeb, is seated next to the late registration desk for the $1,500 Razz. Several players have registered for the event and made their way to congratulate Deeb on his recent success.

The most recent player to do so was another $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller winner, Anthony Zinno. He won his first and only (to date) bracelet in the event back in 2015 for $1,122,196.

"Congratulations, buddy," said Zinno to Deeb.

"I followed in your footsteps Zinno," said Deeb. "You showed me how to close it out!"
