A poker player has alleged that prominent pro Anthony Zinno swiped a bag he left underneath his chair during the World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship series in December and stole $19,000 in cash.
Corel Theuma, a 2023 Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) champion, brought forth the allegations on X and shared some further details with PokerNews. He also filed a police report pressing charges against the poker pro he said he doesn't personally know.
PokerNews has spoken to Zinno, who is not currently commenting on the matter at the advice of legal counsel.
For now, however, there are some important details that can be reported, starting with Theuma's social media comments. Per his response to a deleted thread mentioning the rumors, he claims that the bag he left underneath his poker seat at Wynn Las Vegas had $20,000 in cash, but when it was returned to him, only $1,000 remained inside.
