The $5,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em (50+) event, a tournament with $300,000 guaranteed, wrapped on Wednesday with two players chopping first-place money for $167,209 a piece.
Those two individuals are Michel Abecassis, the runner-up, and Kenneth Fishman, the champion of the biggest Seniors event at the 2026 Wynn Summer Classic in Las Vegas.
Fishman's win puts the champion just over the $1 million mark in lifetime live tournament cashes recorded by The Hendon Mob. The final table had some star power, including the legendary Cliff Josephy, aka "Johnny Bax," who finished in fourth place for $69,320.
The Seniors event had 182 entries and $846,300 in the prize pool, nearly tripling the guarantee. None of those players could outlast Fishman, who earned a career-best score and a Wynn replica trophy.
