A Look Back at the 2021 Wynn Fall Classic

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Wynn Plaques

The 2021 Wynn Fall Classic ran from late September through November 21. During that time, more than 21,000 entrants competed and in excess of $25 million in prize money was awarded.

PokerNews was on-site to provide live updates from some of the marquee events including:

There was a slew of big side event winners throughout the series, which included Argentina’s Federico Castaine, who became the first six-figure winner of the 2021 Wynn Fall Classic after topping a 1,790-entry field to win the $1,600 buy-in, $1,000,000 GTD NLH event for $361,180.

Another big winner was poker veteran Shawn Rice, who bested a 786-entry field to win the $1,100 NLH Seniors tournament, which nearly doubled its $400,000 guarantee by creating a $766,350 prize pool. Rice, who hails from Texas, took down $116,039 for his victory. It marked the second-largest score of his career, which dates back to 1994.

Meanwhile, players like David Brookshire ($550 H.O.R.S.E. $50K GTD for $29,110), David Jackson ($550 NLH $100K GTD for $46,033), Eric Mizrahi ($500 NLH $100K GTD for $41,025), and Fabio Freitas ($400 NLH for $21,182) all claimed titles.

Romain Lewis Eliminated in 16th Place ($34,881)

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Romain Lewis
Romain Lewis

Romain Lewis opened to 60,000 from middle position and Max Lehmanski three-bet to 150,000 in the hijack. Action folded back to Lewis who jammed in his stack of about 700,000, and Lehmanski called.

Romain Lewis: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Max Lehmanski : {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The players were flipping and Lewis was in good shape as he made a set on the {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop. Lehmanski was looking for a queen for Broadway, and that's exactly what came on the {q-Diamonds} turn.

With Lewis needing to pair the board to stay alive, the {4-Diamonds} came on the river, and the French Winamax Team Pro was sent to the rail in 16th place.

Pavel Plesuv Eliminated in 19th Place ($30,332)

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Pavel Plesuv
Pavel Plesuv

Just before the blinds went up and on a {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop, Pavel Plesuv check-called a 65,000 bet in the hijack against Boris Kolev in the cutoff.

The {k-Clubs} came on the turn and Plesuv check-jammed after Kolev bet 175,000. Kolev quickly put in a chip to signify the call and hands were revealed.

Pavel Plesuv: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Boris Kolev: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Both players smashed the flop, as Kolev made the nut straight and Plesuv flopped the top set, but Plesuv needed to pair the board to stay alive.

The {4-Clubs} completed the board to send Plesuv to the rail and send the chips to Kolev, as the remaining 18 players now converge on the final two tables.
