The Wynn Summer Classic Championship, with a $10,400 buy-in and a $10,000,000 guarantee, brought in 1,440 entries. The prizepool was thus worth $14,112,000, with a reward of $2,221,775 awaiting the winner.

Only 6 players entered the final day here with the chipleader being Gustavo Ortega Jimenez with a stack of 21,950,000. Nick Petrangelo was also sitting here with the second largest stack of 13,200,000.
After eliminating Lewis Spencer in third place, it was this pair of players who faced off together in the final heads-up. The winner was Nick Petrangelo, adding another title to his rich poker resume and a $2,221,775 payday, bringing his total live tournament winnings to more than $37.7 million.
