Last night's $1,100 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo event had a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool, but registration closed with nearly $200,000 in the pot. Par for the course at the 2026 Wynn Summer Classic.

The player who took home the largest percentage of the prize pool was Vidar Oeie, who won it for $45,891. Oeie beat Vegas local David Patlan heads-up for the trophy. Don't feel too bad for Patlan, he still went home with $28,372, the second-biggest payout out of the 201-player field inside Wynn Las Vegas.

Tyler Dietz finished in third place for $20,693, followed by Dirk Langer winning $15,479 for fourth place, and Je Oh collecting $11,437 for fifth place.
