In an exciting development for poker enthusiasts, the prestigious Wynn Winter Classic is set to grace the renowned Wynn Poker Room this December, promising an electrifying showdown for a staggering $2.8 million prize pool.
With roots tracing back to the inaugural Wynn Classic tournament in 2007, which drew nearly 2,600 eager participants and awarded over $4.5 million in prize money, this event has become a hallmark of excellence in the poker world.
Expressing anticipation for the upcoming event, Ryan Beauregard, the Executive Director of Poker at Wynn Las Vegas, emphasized the tournament’s significance, envisioning it as a pivotal addition to every poker aficionado’s calendar. “There are a handful of fantastic events in Las Vegas bookmarking this $5,300 Championship, and I would really love to see this December timeframe become an annual ‘must-play,'” he remarked.
The Wynn Winter Classic is slated to feature an impressive lineup of 17 events spanning from December 2 to 20, catering to players of varying skill levels and bankrolls. From the thrill of $300 Limit Omaha to the intensity of the $5,300 NLH Championship, participants will have a plethora of options to choose from.
Headlining the tournament with a jaw-dropping $1.5 million in guarantees, the $5,300 buy-in Championship promises heart-pounding action as players vie for victory armed with $50,000 in starting chips and engaging in intense 60-minute levels.
Adding to the allure of the Wynn Winter Classic is the highly anticipated $500,000 guaranteed $1,100 No-Limit Hold’em event scheduled for December 12, offering players yet another chance to showcase their skills and compete for substantial prizes.
Traditionally held during the spring, summer, and fall months, the expansion of the Wynn Classic series to the winter season marks a significant milestone, further solidifying its status as a premier destination for poker enthusiasts.
