Board Runout Rubs Salter in Dyer's Wound

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 80,000 ante

Michael Dyer raised the button to 350,000 and Louis Salter three-bet all in for 3.325 million from the big blind. Dyer asked for a count and then made the call.

Michael Dyer: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Louis Salter: {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}

The {2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop saw Salter get up out of his seat, and even he seemed surprised to sit back down after the {9-Spades} turn and {q-Clubs} river counterfeited Dyer. Both players had two pair queens and nines, but it was Salter's ace kicker that made the difference.

Farrell Tries to Trap

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 80,000 ante
Ben Farrell
Ben Farrell

Michael Dyer raised to 350,000 and Ben Farrell defended his big blind.

On a flop of {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{k-Hearts} Farrell checked over to Dyer who checked behind. After Farrell checked again on the {2-Clubs} turn Dyer bet 300,000 and Farrell made the call.

Farrell checked a third time on the {a-Spades} river, and when Dyer checked behind Farrell sighed and tabled {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for the flopped full house.

Joe Kuether Eliminated in 5th Place ($124,690)

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 80,000 ante
Joe Kuether
Joe Kuether

Preflop action folded around to Ben Farrell in the small blind and he shoved all in. Joe Kuether made the call from his big blind with a lesser stack.

Ben Farrell: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Joe Kuether: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Spades} and eliminated Kuether in a very respectable fifth place. The four remaining players have agreed to take a look at the numbers.

Dyer Takes a Small One From Rocco

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Post flop action has slowed a bit the last few minutes, but there was another battle of the blinds.

Michael Dyer completed from the small blind and Michael Rocco checked his option from the big blind. Dyer led out on the {8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop for 135,000, Rocco raised to 350,000 and Dyer made the call. After both players checked the {3-Diamonds} turn Dyer led out again, that time for 350,000, and got a fold from Rocco.

Don't Miss the Upcoming Wynn Signature Series in January

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Wynn Poker Room
Wynn Poker Room

Players looking for some major live poker tournament action in January need to look no further than here at the Wynn with its Wynn Signature Series.

Taking place between January 15 and February 2, 2020 at the luxurious Wynn, Las Vegas, the festival guarantees more than $1.3 million will be won.

Massive $400,000 Guaranteed Event

The crown jewel of the Wynn Signature Series sees $400,000 guaranteed for a $1,100 buy-in.

This massive event features three starting flights, the first of which shuffling up and dealing at 12:00 p.m. on January 23.

Day 1B and Day 1C commence at the same time on January 24 and January 25 with the final day starting at 12:00 p.m. on January 26.

All three Day 1s see you sit down with 25,000 chips and play to 40-minutes blinds. The blinds remain the same on Day 2, too.

Should the $1,100 buy-in for this event be a little steep for your bankroll, Wynn is running two Super Satellites that only cost $200 to enter.

The first of these Super Satellites runs from 7:00 p.m. on January 23 while Day 1A of the $400,000 guaranteed event is running, while the second Super Satellite starts at 7:00 p.m. on January 24 while Day 1B is in full flow.

There was a $400,000 guaranteed $1,100 buy-in tournament that was part of the Wynn Fall Classic in October.

That particular event saw 473 entries battle it out for a slice of a $463,162 prize pool.

Sanket Desai banked $70,306 as part of a four-way deal with Eric Blair, Eric Baldwin, and Tamas Lendvai.

Joe Kuether raised to 240,000 Michael Dyer made the call from the next seat over and Matthew Yorra, next to act, moved all in. Kuether folded and Dyer made the call.

Matthew Yorra: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Michael Dyer: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Yorra was slightly ahead preflop, but that all changed on the {2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flop and the {j-Hearts} turn and {7-Diamonds} ended his deep tournament run.
