Usterud Kicks Off With Big Pot Win

Michael Ferrell opens the first pot at his table with an under-the-gun raise and is called by Stian Usterud in the big blind. The board rolls out       with Usterud check-calling bets of 76,000 and 284,000 before he leads with an all in bet on the river.

It's for 413,000 and puts Ferrel in the tank for a couple of minutes. He folds to drop to 1,053,300 whereas Usterud rises to 1,280,000.

Anthony Zinno in Control as 12 Remain in Event #60


Anthony Zinno

Event #60, the $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha tournament has a four-day schedule but as we approach the beginning of the third day of play, just 12 players remain. You can do the math, but it seems very likely it’ll play out today.

Anthony Zinno’s career has taken off in the last two years and he’s brought that good form into the WSOP this year. He’ll be looking to make his fifth final table of the summer today, the last being his 7th place finish in the High Roller for ONE DROP. He pocketed $565,864 for that result, but rather than celebrating, he jumped straight into this event. Wherever he finishes today, he’ll be charging up the WSOP Player of the Year leader board.

Zinno has a problem though. He has 11 talented players standing in between himself and a gold bracelet. Here’s how they line up today:
