Early Life and Education
Thomas was raised in a household with devout parents and studied at Augustinian Merton Priory, London and Paris. After winning Archbishop Theobald’s trust and acting as his agent, he was sent by him to study civil and canon law at Bologna and Auxerre. Thomas made himself agreeable to everyone around him, excelling at argumentation and repartee; among his friends were Roman lawyer Vacarius as well as future bishops such as Roger of Pont l’Eveque; having been older than Henry but celibate may have felt an affinity for Henry or elder-brother relationship whilst wanting to rise further within ranks beyond himself.
Professional Career
Thomas Evans Zanot came within inches of changing his life at the Pai Gow progressive jackpot table in Las Vegas when one lucky $5 chip would change it all with a massive win on Pai Gow progressive jackpot table. An Arizona native with $1.1 million in live tournament earnings according to Hendon Mob was competing against an eight-card hand (8-9-T-J-Q-K-A containing one wild joker as the King card). Thomas managed to beat odds of over 600,000.1!
Sin City witnessed its largest jackpot win ever in 2023 – and possibly ever. This monumental score occurred a mere few months after another impressive score at Harrah’s Casino. While the local poker pro specializes in lower and mid-stakes events (and has made over 60 WSOP cashes!), this massive score represents an unforgettable accomplishment by any measure.
Achievement and Honors
Zanot had made 60 tournament cashes over his eight-year tournament poker career, yet hadn’t claimed one of the WSOP bracelets prized among elite players in his game – until Saturday night at the Flamingo. A $5 chip earned him more than any WSOP Main Event winner could ever hope for: an astonishing $6,443,401 prize was won! His success received widespread acclaim within the poker community.
Personal Life
Finding a seven-card straight flush in Texas Hold’em can be a difficult feat, and even more so in its progressive jackpot version. Your odds of victory are slimmer still; that is why jackpots can become so large.
