History of the Wynn Spring Classic Main Event
Level 2
: 100/200, 200 ante
The Wynn Spring Classic may not immediately jump to mind when you think of long-running Vegas poker series, as competitors like Venetian and Caesar's/WSOP have flooded the market with more events over the years.
However, it does have its own rich history, hosting events dating back more than a decade, to times when it was formerly just the Wynn Classic before fall and summer events were added.
Here's a look at past winners of the event. Note that in 2012 the venue partnered with CardPlayer and the event was rebranded under the CardPlayer Poker Tour.
