Three new WSOP bracelet winners on Monday including Anthony Zinno winning his third bracelet. Other winners include Vladimir Peck and DJ Alexander.
We take a look at these victories as well as all the ongoing action heading into Tuesday.
Anthony Zinno wins $10k Stud Championship, denying Hellmuth his 16th WSOP bracelet
Anthony Zinno took home his 3rd WSOP bracelet after coming ou on top of the $10,000 Stud Championship for $182,872. In his path to victory, Zinno battled an impressive final table that included James Chen ($113,024), Jose Paz-Gutierrez, Jack McClelland, Stephen Chidwick and Jason Gola. In winning the bracelet, he also denied Phil Hellmuth his chance at his 16th WSOP bracelet — at least for now — after Hellmuth busted in 4th place to win a still-respectable $54,730.
Zinno, who has amassed near $10.5 million in live tournament winnings, has previously won bracelets in the 2015 $25k High Roller Pot Limit Omaha for $1,122,196 and the 2019 $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo 8 or Better.
In post-match comments, Zinno noted that traditionally he has not been a Stud specialist. “It’s unreal because Stud is one of the games that I’ve only recently been working on,” said Zinno. “It’s very important to me to prove to myself that the hard work I’ve been putting in the mixed games pays off.”

I’m aware that I’ve had a red hot start ????????????, 5 tourneys, 3 final tables and 18th: also aware my standards are too high, and that I should be happy pic.twitter.com/9oBQ7Q8l6N
