Yinan Zhou Wins $6M WSOP Paradise Super Main Event at Age 24

The Chinese poker player outplayed a world-class final table, including his idol Justin Bonomo, to claim the first-ever WSOP Super Main Event title in the Bahamas.

Yinan Zhou secured his first WSOP bracelet and a $6 million prize by defeating Brazil’s Marcelo Aziz in heads-up play at the inaugural WSOP Paradise Super Main Event.
The $25,000 buy-in event attracted 1,978 entries but fell just short of its $50 million guaranteed prize pool by $550,000.
Zhou executed a pivotal bluff against Day 4 chip leader Michael Addamo, widely regarded as one of poker’s toughest opponents, to build momentum toward his victory.
Liv Boeree made history as the highest-earning female player in a single poker tournament with her $2.8 million fourth-place finish.
Justin Bonomo, who was eliminated in seventh place, faced controversy earlier in the event for wearing a keffiyeh in support of Palestine but complied with WSOP officials’ instructions to remove it.
