The 2022 Wynn Summer Classic continues at Wynn Las Vegas and Day 1a of the $3,500 NLH Championship will begin shortly at noon local time.
During last year’s Wynn Summer Classic, the $3,500 NLH event had a million-dollar guarantee and was won by Chance Kornuth. This year, it’s the premier tournament of the series and features a massive $3,500,000 guarantee.
There are three starting flights and unlimited reentry is permitted per starting flight. Registration and reentries for each starting flight will be available until the start of level 10. Players will begin the tournament with 40,000 in chips and blinds will begin at 100/100/100. Levels are 40 minutes each on Day 1 and will increase to 60 minutes each on Day 2 and Day 3.
Day 1a will play 15 levels or until approximately 11% of the field remains. All other starting flights will play the same amount of time as Day 1a. Day 2 plays ten 60-minute levels on Monday, June 27, and Day 3 plays 60-minute levels on Tuesday, June 28 until a winner is declared.
This championship event of the 2022 Wynn Summer Classic series features the largest guarantee, although more tournaments are on the agenda through July 20. Less than a week ago, Manuel Machado won the $2,200 Wynn Mystery Bounty event for $410,485 plus bounties, and there are several more anticipated tournaments in the series featuring large guarantees.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be bringing updates throughout the entire Wynn Summer Classic $3,500 NLH Championship event, so stay tuned for the action coming up soon.
