Ryan Laplante Finally Captures Long-Awaited Wynn Trophy
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
The 2023 Wynn Millions kicked off on February 20 and is slated to run through March 19. While the $3,500 buy-in, $3 million GTD Wynn Millions Main Event is capturing the big headlines, there have been a series of side events playing over the past couple of weeks.
One of those tournaments was the $600 H.O.R.S.E., which drew 92 runners and awarded a $47,380 prize pool to the top 11 finishers. Two players to cash for $1,279 apiece but fall just short of the final table were Svetlana Gromenkova (10th place) and Ke Chen (11th place).
It was the 19th final table appearance in a Wynn tournament by poker pro Ryan Laplante, but amazingly he had never taken home a coveted trophy. That all changed when he closed out the tournament to the tune of $12,401 after a heads-up deal w/ Tony Phan, who claimed $12,400 in prize money.
