From a field of 262 players, Artur Martirosian emerged triumphantly to win the Wynn Summer Classic $3,500 NLH $4M GTD.

2025 Wynn Summer Classic Remaining Schedule
Check out the remaining Wynn Summer Classic Schedule below!
The $3,500 No Limit Hold’em event was meant to crown a winner on June 26 at the Wynn Summer Classic. However, a big turnout meant a long Day 3 left five players standing at the end of it.
Meanwhile, an even bigger tournament was underway — the $10,400 Wynn Summer Championship.
This $10 million event is the flagship event of the festival and yesterday, it kicked off with Day 1A.
Martirosian Leads Final Five In $3.5k NLH
Artur Martirosian.
It took three Day 1 flights plus two additional days of action to get here. However, another day of action has been put on the docket for the final five in the $3,500 No Limit Hold'em ($4m GTD). These five players were still battling it out when the tournament director called it a day.
The event's $6,638,925 prize pool means that all five players have a $1,016,763 first-place prize to chase but with the chip counts as they stand, one of these players has by far the best chance of victory.
Artur Martirosian is sitting behind a massive stack of 55,658,000 chips. This is a little more than half of the 104,833,000 chips in play.
Kestutis Jungevicius.
Behind Martirosian, the next biggest stack is Kestutis Jungevicius (16,675,000) a Lithuanian pro who has yet to cash outside of Europe. Whatever happens, he will be adding the U.S. flag to his Hendon Mob page today.
Antoine Sankari is in third place, just behind Jungevicius with 15,975,000. And in fourth and fifth are Lei Yu (8,275,000) and Andrew Moreno (8,250,000) and the bigger stacks have plenty of room to make some moves.
The blinds are at 300,000/600,000 with a 600,000 ante, so even the shortest two stacks have 14 big blinds to play with.
The final five will return later today to play down to a winner.

John Juanda In Top Ten After Day 1A of Wynn Summer Championship
John Juanda.
The Wynn Summer Championship is underway at last, with 236 players already having shelled out the $10,400 buy in.
With $2,312,800 in the pot already and three more Day 1 flights to go, the event is comfortably on track to hit the advertised $10 million guarantee.
Fausto Valdez bagged the biggest stack at the end of the day. He will be returning to a heap of 395,000 in chips on Day 2.
Fausto Valdez.
In second, is Franco Spitale (382,000) and in third, Lewis Spencer (366,500).
Also in the top ten is John Juanda, one of poker's best with over $26 million in tournament cashes.
The 80 survivors from Day 1A will join the other survivors for Day 2 on June 30.
Today, Day 1B kicks off at midday.

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.

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
Chip leader, Nicolas Pueta.
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.
Isaac Haxton.
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.
