The jackpot winner said on Twitter that he was down about $375 over approximately 11 hours of play, totaling 300-400 hands, before he hit the lucky hand. Last summer, he recorded 10 cashes at the Series, mostly min-cashes. At the World Series of Poker, he has 60 cashes in bracelet events and another 12 in Circuit ring tournaments, but has yet to win a bracelet. Zanot's run was deep as he outlasted most of the 2,960-entrant field. His most recent tournament cash came last month during the WPT World Championship series at Wynn Las Vegas, a 33rd place finish in the record-setting $10,400 buy-in championship event for $99,600. He plays numerous low to mid-stakes events, although he might now move up in stakes thanks to the life-changing money he won this weekend at Flamingo. Zanot, who is originally from Arizona, has over $1.1 million in live poker tournament cashes, according to Hendon Mob.
