Becker Beware: Landon Tice Ships Wynn Millions Event for $32,025
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Landon Tice's summer crossbook with Jeremy Becker may not yet be underway, but the "child of the sim" is already heating up. Last week, 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.

Farah Galfond was seen doubling up to around 30,000 with two pair on a board of 7♣9♥8♣3♥7♦.
Galfond held 9♠8♠ and her opponent's cards had already been mucked as the soap opera star doubled her stack.
At the same table, David "ODB" Baker was seen sitting with a stack of around 50,000.

Rossitto Put In Check
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Defending champion Michael Rossitto opened to 2,500 in middle position on top of two early position limps and the big blind looked up from his mobile chess game before three-betting to 9,000. The two limpers quickly folded and Rossitto followed suit.
"He's in the middle of a chess match. You think he has a bluff? He's on the clock right now!" the 2023 Wynn Millions champion laughed as he mucked his cards.
