PokerNews Set to Live Report 2020 Wynn Spring Classic $1,600 NLH ($1,000,000 GTD)
The 2020 Wynn Spring Classic is in full swing and runs through March 18. By the end of the series, 24 events - one more than last year - will have played out. What's more, PokerNews is slated to live report two of those tournaments, both boasting a seven-figure guarantee.
Two $1m Guaranteed Events
Last year's festival had $2.8 million in guaranteed prize pools, but this year that figure is increased to just shy of $4 million with not one, but two $1,000,000 guaranteed events.
The first is the $1,600 buy-in tournament with 30,000 starting chips, 60-minute levels and three starting flights from March 5-7. PokerNews will pick up live updates from that tournament starting on Day 2.
The second is the $5,300 Wynn Classic Championship Event. This three-day event starts on March 16 with 50,000 starting chips and 60-minute levels. It will be live reported by PokerNews from start to finish.
