Poker Pros Chase $6 Million Jackpot in Pai Gow
Professional poker players, including Dan Smith and Thomas Zanot, attempted to win a $6 million jackpot in Pai Gow at Caesars casinos. Thomas Zanot emerged victorious after an 11-hour session.
Dan Smith played Pai Gow at Caesars casinos and discussed his experience on Twitter. He mentioned that Pai Gow was the worst game against the casino he had ever played but still participated due to the potential winnings. Shuan Liu was also hunting for the jackpot at Planet Hollywood.
Thomas Zanot spent 11 hours at the table and was down $375 before winning the jackpot. Max Silver congratulated Thomas Zanot on his win and commented on the behavior of other players, noting that many were playing without trying to win the jackpot. Marty Mathis proposed a hypothetical situation about tipping after winning a large jackpot, asking how much one would leave on a $6.4 million win. Daniel Negreanu offered a bet on the PokerGo leaderboard for 2023, with a minimum bet of $5,000 and a maximum of $25,000.

Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
