Landon Tice's summer crossbook with Jeremy Becker may not yet be underway, but the "child of the sim" is already heating up. On Wednesday, Tice took down a 2024 Wynn Millions Poker Series $400 buy-in event for $32,025 and his first Wynn trophy.
The victory for Tice, who topped a 512-player field after coming into Day 2 with 20 big blinds, shows that he means business in his upcoming high-stakes bet with Becker, which was set up by Daniel Negreanu and stipulates that both players crossbook 25 mutually played events between May 28 and July 1.
Tice took a bit of a shot at Becker in his winner's photo, giving a yawn while holding up Becker's trademark three-five offsuit.
But Tice has some catching up to do. The victory marked his first live victory since November 2020, when he took down the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Venetian $1,100 Main Event for $201,529. Since then, Becker has won 38 live tournaments, according to The Hendon Mob.
Action was three ways with what looked like nearly 3,000,000 in the middle and a full board of Q♣7♦8♣3♦6♦. Neel Murthy checked and Chris Frank slid out 2,000,000 before Haim Gabay shoved 4,500,000.
Murthy folded and Frank called reluctantly.
"Flush," Gabay said.
"Which one?' Frank asked as he tabled 10♦8♦.
Gabay turned over K♦9♦ to take the big pot with a better flush.
