Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jon Pill

June 25 at the Wynn Summer Classic was Day 2 of the $3,500 No Limit Hold'em event, with its $6.6 million prize pool.

The day also saw two satellites award seats to the $10,400 Wynn Summer Championship, Day 1 of which begins this afternoon.

Down To 45 Players In The $3,500 No Limit Hold'em

As the only one mainline tournament on the books, the $3,500 No Limit Hold'em ($4m GTD) drew everyone's focus. The huge prize pool had brought out big names and high rollers looking for their cut of the $6,638,925 prize pool.

From an initial field of 2,091 entries, Day 2 started with 402 players still in the game. At the end of the day's action, this was down to 45.

The start of Day 2 also saw the payouts confirmed. The top prize was set at $1,016,763 and the min-cash at $7,741, with the bubble breaking when the field reached 260 players.

Nicolas Betbese Pueta is closest to that first-place prize right now. Having started the day around 75th place with 374,000 in chips, he finished the day by bagging up 6,455,000 in chips for the overall lead.

On the other hand, the combined Day 1 chip leader, Pavlin Karakikov went from the biggest stack at the start of the day to the smallest at the end. He finished Day 2 with just 370,000 in chips.

Between Pueta and Karakikov are plenty of big names. From the day before's long list of sharks, high rollers, and big name pros, a handful still remain in contention.

Isaac Haxton has kept a spot in the top ten. He is currently fifth in chips with 4,415,000.

Haxton was joined in the top ten by Stephen Song (5,085,000) in third and Tom Middleton (4,645,000) in fourth.

Andrew Moreno is just a little way behind them in twelfth with 3,000,000. Following just behind him is Roman Hrabec in 14th with 2,530,000, and Artur Martirosian in 15th with 2,465,000.

They will also be joined on Day 3 by John Riordan (910,000) and Michael Liang (420,000) further down the rankings.

These players will all be back — along with the rest of the 45 surviving players — to play down to a winner today. Action resumes at midday.

As the numbers dwindle in the $3,500 No Limit Hold'em event, the $10 million guaranteed $10,400 Wynn Summer Championship will start spooling up today.

The $3,500 NLH event returns at midday. At the same time, play begins in both Day 1A of the $10,400 Wynn Summer Championship and a $1,100 satellite to the same tournament, with 10 seats guaranteed.

The $10,400 Wynn Summer Championship has starting stacks of 50,000 and one-hour blind levels.

Players can register for the event until the start of Level 9. This is expected to be around 9:45 p.m.

There will also be a second satellite, this one starting at 6 p.m. This satellite has the same structure as the first one with another 10 seats guaranteed, 25-minute blind levels, and late registration until 9:40 p.m.

Cheating Scandal Rocks Texas Poker Room & Man Wins Ladies Event Satellite | PokerNews Podcast #901

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chad Holloway

In the 901st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined by PokerStars commentator James Hartigan at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about the latest poker stories including a cheating scandal at the JokerStars poker room in Texas, the same room that former NFL star Adrian Peterson recently got into a fistfight.

They also discuss Albert Ng and his continued firing in ladies event satellites, nasty comments from a recent article recognizing Pride Month, and recent winners from the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) including Dylan Linde, Adrian Mateos, Matthew Wantman, Darren Elias, and Benny Glaser, who set some records after capturing his third bracelet of the summer and eighth overall.

Other recent tournament winners include Tirza Sanders in the Venetian Ladies High Roller, Jesse Lonis at the Wynn Summer Classic, and Manuel Ferrari at the 2025 PokerStars Open Malaga €1,100 Main Event. Speaking of PokerStars, this weekend they're hosting a Meet-Up Game (MUG) at Resorts World in which they'll award the first seat into the 2025 NAPT, while PokerNews will host a MUG of our own this Friday starting at 8p PT at the new poker room inside Planet Hollywood. Get details on both in this episode.

Finally, the $50,000 Poker Players Championship is happening now. Prior to the event, Chad looked into what happened to the Chip Reese Trophy, and you might be surprised by what he found out.

Learn about all those stories and more in the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast!

A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice a week during the 2025 WSOP every Thursday and Sunday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!

Navarro Bags Day 1b Chip Lead in Wynn Summer Championship

The top two haven't changed after the first two starting flights in the $10,400 Wynn Summer Championship, but a new face has appeared third in chips, with Mario Navarro bagging 373,000 chips ahead of Cedric Schwaederle (289,500) and Michael Gathy (284,000).

That brings the total number of survivors to 151 from a field of 432, with two more starting flights remaining.

Should This Poker Player Get A Million-Dollar Bonus? | PokerNews Podcast #903

Chad Holloway

In the 903rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by special fill-in cohosts Team PokerStars Pro Jennifer Shahade and Josh Abady of Play Live Melbourne to discuss the latest in the poker industry, including the latest on the alleged chip-dumping incident from the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Millionaire Maker event. Winner Jesse Yaginuma did get paid the $1,000,000 bonus, but he and runner-up James Carroll are still awaiting a decision by WSOP officials on the regular prize money.

Another big story was Golden Nugget cancelling their $1 million guaranteed tournament, much to the dismay of several players, including Kyna England. The hosts discuss the decision and examine the larger concept of guarantees within the poker world. You'll then get highlights from a pair of Meet-Up Games (MUGs), including the PokerNews one at Planet Hollywood and the PokerStars one at Resorts World, where the first $5,300 Main Event seat to November's NAPT was awarded. See who the lucky winner was!

Next, get a sneak peek at the new show Hellmuth's Home Game presented by Poker Night in America (PNIA), a discussion on the state of poker in Australia, and a look ahead to the 2025 WSOP Main Event, which will kick off this week!

A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice a week during the 2025 WSOP every Thursday and Sunday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
