Joseph Spanne captured the biggest title of his career after winning the $3,500 Wynn Millions Championship.

The tournament drew 694 entries and generated a prize pool of more than $2.2 million, with Spanne taking home $397,319 after defeating Chahn Jung heads-up.

Spanne entered the final table among the shorter stacks but found heat when he needed it most, winning several key pots before closing things out when Jung flopped a pair but ran into Spanne’s overpair in the final hand.

The victory pushed the California native past the $1 million mark in live tournament earnings and gave him the first major title of his career.
