Zedd did make a bit of a come back though in Event #25 where he finished third out of a total of 226 plays for $51,944. “I loved it. Had a drink, talked to some people, found out who they are,” Zedd tols the reporter. “I I obviously don’t play poker that much, but the experience I have are fairly quick tournaments, that’s what I always play. Whenever I play at home, it’s usually pretty quick so I’m used to being under pressure. It felt a little easier for me than the long tournaments.”
