Zinno Ponders Retirement; Readers Sense Sarcasm

[user127999]

Nível 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

In a year that has seen him win two WPT Main Event and a WPT High Roller title practically back-to-back-to-back, then go out to the World Series of Poker, make five final tables, and book a massive seven-figure bracelet win, Anthony Zinno leads just about every Player of the Year race in poker.

To sure things up, he's been turning up at just about every tournament series on the planet these days and, of course, EPT Malta is no exception.

In fact, he's in with a shot here in this High Roller, slowly building it up to 67,000 already, a day after winning the €5,000 + 300 Pot-Limit Omaha - 8 Handed event here at Portomaso to add to his growing resume.

Zinno is certainly committed to putting in the volume to make sure 'Player of the Year' appears before his name at the end of 2015 and has plans to round out the year with trips to Jacksonville, Montreal, Prague and Las Vegas.

"I'm tired," he said with a smile. "After all this I may just retire."

Mercier Busts Charania and Ho; Takes Lead

[user38873]

Nível 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

After a raise to 1,600 by Denis Timofeev and the call by Michael Ho, Jason Mercier three-bet to 6,500 out of the small blind. Mohsin Charania then moved all in from the big blind for his last 9,500. Since it was not a full raise, all remaining players were only allowed to call, a fact Mercier had confirmed by floor staff.

On the flop, Mercier continued for 17,000 and both Timofeev and Ho called.

Mercier then splashed in his stack of T-5,000 chips after the turn to put the two remaining opponents all in. Timofeev folded, but Ho called for his last 25,000.

Ho:
Charania:
Mercier:

The river was a blank and Mercier busted two players at once to take the overall lead.

Name Your Price

[user127999]

Nível 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand Grospellier just jumped in the High Roller following the dinner break and already has it up close to six figures.

So when it folded to ElKY in the small blind and he limped in, it was decidedly unreasonable for big blind Justin Bonomo to ask how much it would cost to get him to fold.

Apparently, 2,000 wasn't enough, because when Bonoma bet about that, Grospellier made the call.

The flop came and after a check from Grospellier, Bonomo announced a bet of 3,200, answering his earlier question when Grospellier finally relented.

"Yes," laughed Bonomo. "Max value."
