Just after the clock struck midnight and it was officially Saturday morning at the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino, Anthony Zinno became the 53rd player in poker history to own at least four World Series of Poker bracelets and the 55th to win at least two bracelets in one series.
The poker pro from Rhode Island bested a field of 594 entries to win the $1,500 HORSE . He took home $160,636 for his efforts, which bumps his career tournament earnings to more than $10.6 million.

Last year, Canadian Alex Stasiak won two bracelets during the WSOP Online series, and both Mark Herm and Martin Zamani won multiple bracelets this year but were part of separate series.

That same year, fellow Australian Robert Campbell won two at the Las Vegas stop.
With more than five weeks left in the series, Zinno has as good a shot as ever join an elite group of poker players who have won three in a series. George Danzer won three bracelets in 2014, but his third […]
