Dan Smith gave what he dubs a "hot take" on Twitter when he proclaimed the $10,000 buy-in Wynn Millions Main Event, which is currently underway in Las Vegas, superior to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. He briefly explained his reasoning and it isn't as crazy of an opinion as it might seem on the surface.
The 2nd Annual Wynn Millions event — PokerNews is live reporting the entire tournament — features a $10 million guaranteed prize pool. In some years, the WSOP Main Event pays $10 million or more .... to the winner. But there's more to judging the quality of a poker event than just the total prize pool, as Smith explained in a tweet.
There are a number of similarities between the Wynn Millions Main Event and the WSOP Main Event, starting with the comparable $10,000 buy-in. Many of the same players that compete in poker's world championship event also have entered the first two major Wynn events, with pros such as Daniel Negreanu and Dan Smith battling it out for big bucks against recreational players chasing life-changing money.
