button in SafariHeads-Up Deal for Ariel Celestino and Wei Chen
Two weeks after final tabling the BetMGM Championship at the ARIA, Ariel Celestino narrowly missed out on a title down the road at the Wynn after finishing runner-up in the $600 NLHE at the Wynn Summer Classic.
He struck a deal heads-up with Arizona's Wei Chen, taking home a single dollar less after the pair finished on top of the 221-player field.
The tournament had more than doubled its guaranteed, $113,815 split among the 27 players who cashed.
