Canada's Rishi Makkar Takes Down 2022 Wynn Millions $400 PLO $25K GTD

Chad Holloway

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The 2022 Wynn Millions is a series comprised of 16 events with more than $15 million in guaranteed prize money. There's a tournament for just about any type of poker player — high stakes, mid-stakes, no-limit hold'em, pot-limit Omaha, bounty events, etc. And there are two seniors events for players aged 50 and above — $400 and $1,100.

On March 1, the $400 Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) $25K GTD tournament attracted 191 entrants and more than doubled the guarantee by generating a $65,895 prize pool. That was reserved for the top 20 finishers including Badr Imejjane (18th - $915), Glen Questrod (16th - $1,011), Anthony Abram (14th - $1,132), Michael Trivett (11th - $1,458), Ari Engel (8th - $1,957), and Daniel Anton (3rd - $7,057).

The tournament came to an end when Canada’s Rishi Makkar bested Brazil’s Daniel Zuazo in heads-up play to claim the trophy and $18,229 first-place prize.
