2026 Wynn Summer Classic
A champion in a big event will be crowned, a new event will begin, and two Day 1 flights of another tournament will run all in one day at the 2026 Wynn Summer Classic.
That's what is on the plate inside Wynn Las Vegas on Tuesday as the action in the big summer series rolls on. We'll start things off at 11 a.m. with Day 1c of the $1,100 No-Limit Hold'em tournament, which guarantees at least $1,500,000 in the pot.
Next up, at noon local time, is the beginning of the $1,600 T.O.R.S.E., a $100,000 guaranteed tournament.
At the same time, the final table of the $1 million guaranteed $1,100 No-Limit Hold'em takes place. We'll have a winner in that one before the day's end.
The last event to start on Tuesday will be the Day 1d flight in that aforementioned $1,500,000 guaranteed tournament. This flight is a turbo flight and will be a shorter quicker session for the players.
As always, make sure you come back tomorrow to find out how today's action played out.
In the 969th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Ben Ludlow are at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas for the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
To kick things off, they talk about a big hand played by Phil Ivey, one that left the usually stone-faced poker pro in shock. See the hand and learn what happened! From there, it's a discussion on why Jeremy Ausmus may have been denied a vlogger pass, big names falling just short of gold bracelets, and Alan Keating no-showing the $25,000 Heads-Up Championship.
Speaking of that tournament, Daniel Negreanu was cruising right along until he suffered a series of unfortunate events, including a river bad beat that you can see in this episode. Some other things you can see are the $1,000,000 bounty pull from the $550 Mini Mystery Millions tournament and highlights from the Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) Event #100 with Matt Stout.
Finally, the PokerNews Podcast has a new sponsor in Think Jerky, and as fate would have it, there's a poker connection between Chad and the brand's Pat's Cheesesteak stick that dates back more than a decade to a poker game in Philadelphia. Learn all about that, and while you're at it, be sure to check out Think Jerky!
