Anthony Zinno: Five-Time WSOP Bracelet Winner and Three-Time WPT Champion
POKER HALL OF FAME
Inducted 2014
Anthony Zinno has built one of the more versatile tournament resumes of his generation, combining three World Poker Tour titles with five World Series of Poker bracelets won across several poker formats. The American professional also earned WPT Player of the Year honors during Season XIII and has remained active at major tournaments well into 2026.
As of August 26, 2026, Hendon Mob lists Zinno with $12,764,893 in live tournament earnings and a career-best live cash of $1,122,196. Those totals can change as new tournament results are added.
⠀
Who Is Anthony Zinno?
Anthony Zinno is an American professional poker player best known for his success on both the World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker.
Hendon Mob lists Cranston, Rhode Island, as his birthplace and Las Vegas, Nevada, as his current residence. His recorded live tournament results date to 2007, giving him nearly two decades of documented tournament experience.
Zinno's career stands out because his major victories have not been confined to one format. His WPT championships came in no-limit hold'em, while his WSOP bracelet collection includes pot-limit Omaha, pot-limit Omaha hi-lo, seven-card stud, H.O.R.S.E. and online no-limit hold'em.
⠀
From Law School to Professional Poker
Poker was not Zinno's original professional path. The WSOP reported when he won his first bracelet in 2015 that he had earned a law degree from Suffolk University and passed the bar exam before choosing poker as a full-time career.
His first recorded live cashes appeared in 2007, and he reached the money in the WSOP Main Event in 2008. Over the following years, Zinno developed from a regular tournament player into a major-tour champion.
That transformation accelerated dramatically once he broke through on the World Poker Tour.
⠀
Anthony Zinno's World Poker Tour Career
Zinno won his first WPT title at the 2013 WPT Borgata Poker Open. He defeated Vanessa Selbst heads-up and earned $825,099 after topping a field of 1,189 entries.
His defining WPT run came during Season XIII.
Zinno won the WPT Fallsview Poker Classic and then captured the WPT L.A. Poker Classic only two weeks later. The Los Angeles victory was worth $1,015,860 and gave him his third WPT championship.
The back-to-back victories helped secure the Season XIII Hublot WPT Player of the Year award. The World Poker Tour's official announcement credited Zinno with the two consecutive titles and five additional cashes during the season.
As of August 2026, Zinno's official WPT profile lists:
Three WPT Main Tour wins
Eight WPT Main Tour final tables
41 WPT Main Tour cashes
$3,297,919 in WPT Main Tour earnings
Those figures demonstrate the lasting importance of the WPT to Zinno's career, but his accomplishments soon expanded well beyond no-limit hold'em.
⠀
Five WSOP Bracelets Across Multiple Poker Formats
Zinno's five WSOP bracelets provide some of the clearest evidence of his versatility as a tournament player.
His bracelet victories are:
2015: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha — $1,122,196
2019: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better — $279,920
2021: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship — $182,872
2021: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. — $160,636
2024: WSOP Online $500 No-Limit Hold'em Fall Saver — $48,649
First Bracelet: 2015 $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller
Zinno's first bracelet produced the largest live tournament score of his career.
He defeated a 175-entry field in the 2015 $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha event and collected $1,122,196. The WSOP's official tournament report documented the victory as his first bracelet after several deep runs earlier that summer.
The win also established that Zinno's success was not limited to the no-limit hold'em format in which he had collected his WPT championships.
Second Bracelet: Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo
Four years later, Zinno returned to the winner's circle at the 2019 WSOP.
He topped 1,117 entries in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better event for $279,920. WSOP results confirm that the victory earned him his second bracelet.
Two Bracelets in 2021
Zinno doubled his bracelet count during the 2021 WSOP.
First, he won the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship for $182,872, defeating a 62-entry field. Only days later, he captured the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. event for $160,636 against a field of 594 entries.
The H.O.R.S.E. victory gave him four career bracelets and added another mixed-game title to a résumé already featuring major wins in pot-limit Omaha and stud.
Fifth Bracelet Arrives Online
Zinno added bracelet number five in 2024 by winning the WSOP Online $500 No-Limit Hold'em Fall Saver.
The event attracted 572 entries, and Zinno earned $48,649. The victory extended his bracelet record into a fifth poker format and marked his first WSOP bracelet in an online no-limit hold'em event.
As of August 2026, Zinno's official WSOP player profile lists five bracelets and zero WSOP Circuit rings.
⠀
Career Earnings and Anthony Zinno's Biggest Cash
Hendon Mob lists Zinno with $12,764,893 in live tournament earnings as of August 26, 2026.
His largest recorded live cash remains the $1,122,196 prize from his 2015 WSOP $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller victory. His $1,015,860 WPT L.A. Poker Classic championship is another seven-figure result.
Live earnings totals and all-time money rankings are dynamic. They should be treated as a snapshot rather than a permanent career figure because future cashes can change both.
⠀
Playing Style and Tournament Versatility
It is difficult to reduce Zinno's tournament game to a single stylistic label without relying on subjective assessments. His results provide a more useful description.
His three WPT championships demonstrate sustained success in no-limit hold'em, while four of his first four WSOP bracelets came in pot-limit Omaha, pot-limit Omaha hi-lo, seven-card stud and H.O.R.S.E.
That range shows an ability to compete successfully in both big-bet and limit formats, as well as split-pot and mixed-game events.
For tournament fans, that versatility is an important part of Zinno's career identity. Many players build their largest results primarily in no-limit hold'em. Zinno has paired elite no-limit hold'em accomplishments with championship-level results across several other poker variants.
⠀
Why Anthony Zinno Matters in Poker
Zinno's significance comes from the combination of longevity, major-tour success and breadth.
Three WPT titles alone place him among the tour's multiple-time champions. His Season XIII Player of the Year award adds another major distinction from one of the strongest periods of his WPT career.
Five WSOP bracelets broaden that record considerably. The bracelets were earned across five different event types rather than through repeated success in one specialty, demonstrating a tournament résumé that extends from high-stakes pot-limit Omaha to stud, H.O.R.S.E. and online no-limit hold'em.
His results also span different eras of modern tournament poker. Recorded live cashes date to 2007, his first WPT championship came in 2013, his first bracelet arrived in 2015, and he was still reaching major final tables in 2026.
⠀
Anthony Zinno's Current Poker Status
Zinno remained active on the major tournament circuit in 2026.
He reached the final table of the WPT Venetian Las Vegas Spring Championship at The Venetian Resort, finishing fifth for $114,000. The result increased his official WPT Main Tour totals to three wins, eight final tables and more than $3.29 million in earnings.
He also recorded numerous cashes during the 2026 World Series of Poker. His official WSOP profile shows results across no-limit hold'em, pot-limit Omaha and pot-limit Omaha hi-lo events, including an in-the-money finish in the $10,000 Main Event.
Hendon Mob's results database also records a cash for Zinno at the Borgata Poker Open Summer Championship in July 2026.
Those results make clear that Zinno's profile is not simply a record of past championships. He remains an active tournament professional with results on major poker tours.
