The $5,000 Seniors High Roller at the Wynn Summer Classic will return on Wednesday with 83 players left from 158 entries, all chasing a $734,700 prize pool as the field moves deeper into the late stages. The average stack sits at 95,180 with blinds now at 1,500/1,000/1,500, keeping pressure steady but still leaving room for play.

Troy Sprungl set the pace heading into the session with 349,000, holding the clear chip lead after a strong run through the middle levels. Lee Rzentkowski (310,500) and Qing Liu (239,500) remain closest behind, while Tongguang Sun (237,000) and Maksim Paniak (218,000) round out the top end of a tightly bunched leaderboard.

Further down the counts, a mix of familiar names remain in contention, including Bruno Fitoussi, Marcel Luske, and Daniel Lowery, all still very much alive as the field begins to thin.

The Wynn Summer Classic $1,600 No-Limit Hold'em $2 Million Guaranteed is in full swing, and Cynthia Vencebi will return on Day 2 with a big stack after leading the Day 1B flight.

Vencebi bagged 782,000, good for nearly 80 big blinds when play resumes, with Nicholas Wang (699,000), Justin Young (689,000), and Mathieu His (662,000) all close behind at the top of the leaderboard.

A number of familiar faces remain in contention as the tournament plays toward its final table. Victoria Livschitz sits comfortably above average with 494,000, while high-stakes regular Olivier Busquet is still alive with 184,000. Joseph Buonomo also remains in the hunt, though he will return among the shorter stacks with 100,000.

With $500,500 awaiting the eventual champion and the average stack sitting at 325,581, plenty of room remains for movement when Day 2 gets underway.

What's Coming Up on Tuesday at Wynn Summer Classic

The Wynn Summer Classic rolled on Tuesday with another packed slate, headlined by a fresh $1,600 No-Limit Hold’em flight and a late-day opportunity for players still hunting a bag.

At 11 a.m., Day 1C of the $1,600 No-Limit Hold’em kicked off under the $2,000,000 guarantee, bringing in another wave of grinders looking to lock up a stack ahead of the money stages. With multiple starting flights running across the series, the field is steadily building toward what is shaping up to be one of the bigger mid-summer turnouts on the Strip.

Midday action shifted gears at 12 p.m. with the $1,100 TOE event drawing a more specialized crowd and a different rhythm at the tables. Smaller field, faster pace, and plenty of players looking to spin up a deep run before the evening schedule takes over.

The day isn’t done there either. At 6 p.m., Day 1D of the $1,600 No-Limit Hold’em offers one more chance for players to find a bag, with late entrants and fresh faces expected to push the numbers even higher as the series momentum builds.

The second pot-limit Omaha tournament on Sunday at the 2026 Wynn Summer Classic was an $1,100 buy-in Turbo.

There were 124 entrants in this $100,000 guaranteed tournament, 15 paid. Nobody had any chips when it ended except for Sean Rafael, the champion who took home $33,248 at Wynn Las Vegas.

Rafael wasn't the only big winner out of the $120,900 prize pool, however. The runner-up, Russell Brooks, made $21,061, and third-place finisher Daniel Pearlman collected $14,568 for his efforts.
