He was already down around $375 across 300-400 hands when the massive win took place. <\/p>\n<p>Twitter user <strong>Xuan Liu<\/strong> (<em>@xxl23<\/em>) shared that hours before hitting the jackpot at the Flamingo, Zanot asked her if there were any Pai Gow seats available at Caesars Las Vegas as the tables were already full at Harrah\u2019s and Linq.
