Yesterday (June 22) saw the winner crowned in the popular $1,100 5-Card PLO event at the Wynn Summer Classic.
Elsewhere, the priciest event of the day was the $25,800 No Limit Hold'em 8-Max, which played down to its final table. And elsewhere at the Wynn, the $4 million guaranteed $3,500 No Limit Hold'em tournament kicked off the first of three Day 1 flights.
Sergio Torres Espinosa Wins Final 5-Card PLO Event Of The Festival
Sergio Torres Espinosa came first in the one-day $1,100 5-Card PLO event, after beating Eduardo Bernal Sanchez heads up.
Espinosa and Sanchez were the top two finishers from a field of 435 entries, who had collectively put $424,125 into the prize pool.
This turnout more than doubled the $200,000 guarantee on the event and allowed Esposito to earn himself a $77,220 payday for his first-place finish.
Sanchez made $63,791 for second place.
Five-card PLO had proved a popular variant at the Wynn Summer Classic this year. In this tournament's case, the event drew more players than any of the traditional four-card variants of Omaha so far.
Unfortunately, this is the last 5-Card event, even if you include the hi-lo version — also known as Big O.

Yesterday (June 23), the Wynn Summer Classic crowned two new winners.
Jesse Lonis won the $25,800 No Limit Hold'em 8-Max and Marguerite Spagnuolo won the $600 Ladies No Limit Hold'em.
Elsewhere at the Wynn, the $3,500 No Limit Hold'em tournament had both a satellite event and its second Day 1 flight.
Jesse Lonis Wins $25,800 No Limit Hold'em For $410,242
The $25,800 No Limit Hold'em 8-Max got 56 runners on Day 1.
By the start of Day 2, only eight players remained. With seven players paid and $1,400,000 in the prize pool, one of these eight players was going to be disappointed and it didn't take long to decide who that would be.
Ioannis Konstas exited in eighth place, bursting the bubble and briefly releasing the tension.
That tension began to rise again as players began to drop out and the remaining players turned their eyes to the first-place prize.
Jesse Lonis and Alexandros Theologis found themselves heads up when they cut a deal. Lonis won the event, the trophy, and $410,242.
Alexandros Theologis won $353,458 for second place.

$3,500 No Limit Hold'em ($4m GTD) Day 1B brought the total number of entries up to 718, putting the event more than halfway to hitting its $4,000,000 guarantee.

June 24 at the Wynn Summer Classic was all about the $3,500 No Limit Hold'em tournament with its $4,000,000 guarantee.
No other events distracted from Day 1C, which filled up the Wynn's tournament space with the largest of the tourney's three Day 1 flights.
Prize Pool Confirmed As $6,638,925
When Day 1C of the $3,500 No Limit Hold'em ($4m GTD) tournament began, the field was at 718 entries. That put the prize pool at a touch over $2.2 million.
By the end of Day 1C, those numbers blew right out of the water. Another 1,373 entries joined the field for a player count of 2,091. This set the event's prize pool at $6,638,925, the biggest of the festival so far, even exceeding the $2,200 Mystery Bounty ($3m GTD)'s prize pool of $5,641,870.
A lot of entries meant a lot of survivors, with a total of 270 of these players finding a bag for Day 2. That brings the Day 2 field up to 402 players in total.
However, none of those 270 survivors managed to knock Day 1B chip leader, Pavlin Karakikov (967,000), off his perch at the top of the leaderboard.
Matthew Beinner (917,000) has slipped into second place, pushing the previous two-spot, Andrew Yu (823,000), down a rung to third.
The huge prize pool brought big-name players out in droves.
For example, also in the top ten is high-stakes crusher Isaac Haxton. Hazxton is in eighth place with 658,000 in chips.
Further down the leaderboard are other high rollers like Thomas Middleton (608,000), Artur Martirosian (285,000), Jason Somerville (244,000), Chris Brewer (242,000), Brek Schutten (203,000), and Brock Wilson (201,000).
Even Alex Foxen managed to scrape in with 58,000 in his stack.
Other notables who found a bag include Robert Fluereci (645,000), Stephen Song (568,000), Dong Meng (386,000), Jessica Teusl (359,000), Andrew Moreno (198,000), James Collopy (139,000), and winner of the 2025 Wynn Summer Classic's $3,000 NLH 8-Max event, Boris Angelov (176,000).
All of these players are scheduled to return today at midday for Day 2 of this three-day event.
The final day of the event is then scheduled for tomorrow.
