The summer schedule for Las Vegas poker is starting to take shape with the announcement of the return of the Wynn Summer Classic, a mega series at the world-class resort from May 21–July 14.
Wynn's annual summer series will feature over $40 million in guarantees, headlined by the $10,400 Wynn Summer Championship — a Main Event with four starting flights and a $10,000,000 guarantee from June 26 through July 2. Several other seven-figure guarantees fill out the crowded schedule, which will feature buy-ins as low as $600 and satellites into major events for $300.
Millions in guarantees all summer
The first $1.5 million guarantee kicks off on May 25 with a $1,100 buy-in and six starting flights spread over three days. Shortly after, the $1,600 Seniors 50+ event will start on May 30 and carry a $1,000,000 prize pool and three opening flights.
The beginning of June brings another $1.5 million guarantee, this time a $1,100 buy-in with three opening flights on June 2–4. It's quickly followed by a $2.5 million, $1,600 buy-in tournament that starts on June 9 with six opening flights. June action continues with a $3 million Mystery Bounty with a $2,200 buy-in on June 15 and a $4 million guarantee with a $3,500 buy-in on June 22. The $600 Ladies Event will also kick off on June 22.
All roads lead to the Wynn Summer Championship, a $10,400 Main Event with $10 million guaranteed. Starting flights begin on June 26 and continue daily through June 29. Surviving players will return for Day 2 and 3 on Monday and Tuesday before the final table on Wednesday, July 2.
The action doesn't stop with the Wynn Summer Championship. Marquee closer events include a PLO Mystery Bounty with a $1M guarantee on July 2, a NLH Mystery Bounty with a $2 million guarantee on July 4, and a $2,200 buy-in with a $2 million guarantee on July 7.
Aside from the marquee events, players can hop over to the Wynn every day for unique tournaments in one of the classiest rooms in town. The rest of the schedule will feature variants like TORSE, Big O, 5-Card PLO, and several Milestone Satellites that can get you into the biggest events at a steep discount.
