The {9-Clubs} came on the turn and Lindsay bet 60,000. Reilly briefly thought about it before folding to send the pot to Lindsay, who added the chips to the big stack she's accumulated so far today.

Cheong Cracks Zajmovic's Aces on Bubble

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ema Zajmovic
Ema Zajmovic

A player opened to 13,000 in the cutoff, Joseph Cheong three-bet to 37,000 on the button, and Ema Zajmovic jammed in her 41,000 stack in the big blind. The cutoff folded and Cheong called.

Ema Zajmovic: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Joseph Cheong: {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Zajmovic had the best starting hand in poker and was lightly joking around with the table while awaiting the other tables to finish their hands, yet was still cautious and uneasy with the possibility of bubbling.

The dealer spread a flop of {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} to give Cheong a straight and leave Zajmovic drawing thin with her rockets. The {6-Hearts} turn brought in some chop possibilities which some players at the table were calling for, but the {3-Clubs} completed the board.

"You are the best," Zajmovic said to Cheong before making her exit following the unfortunate result.

On December 8, the 2021 Wynn Winter Classic hosted a $400 buy-in, $40K GTD No-Limit Hold'em event. The tournament surpassed its guarantee as 140 runners created a $48,300 prize pool.

That was reserved for the top 15 finishers, and among those to cash but fall short of making the final table were Kevin El-Far (15th - $888), Jason Fitzpatrick (14th - $888), Jon Orlando (13th - $1,002), Kathleen Gale (12th - $1,002), David Peterson (11th - $1,145), and David Schaerf (10th - $1,145).

In the end, Spain's David Perez defeated Ukraine's Ruslan Rogozhyn in heads-up play to claim the title and $12,545 top prize.
