Wynn Classic Schedule

The Wynn Fall Classic is heading back to the Encore poker room at the Wynn on Sept. 23 to Oct. 13 with sixteen action-packed tournaments guaranteeing a combined $2.5 million.

This is a huge increase from the $1.8 million guaranteed last year over sixteen events during last year's festival.

Championship Event

The highlight of the series will be the three-day Championship Event with a $1,600 buy-in with a big $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. This represents double the $500,000 guarantee of last year's Championship Event won by Steve Sung for $170,550.

The event features three starting days with players starting with 25,000 in chips and competing in 45-minute blind levels on Oct. 3-5. As is the case with all events on the schedule, players will have a chance to build a big stack with unlimited reentries permitted throughout the (late-)registration period.

Surviving players will compete for two more days on Oct. 6-7 with longer 60-minute blind levels until a winner is crowned.

Other Event Highlights

The schedule is full of big events suitable to players with bankrolls big and small with buy-ins ranging $300 to $3,200. In addition to the Championship Event, there are two other events with three No Limit Hold'em Events on the schedule on Sept. 26-29 with a $600 buy-in and a $250,000 guarantee and on Oct. 10-13 with a $1,100 buy-in and a $400,000 guarantee.

Another big event that will likely draw some of the biggest names in poker is the $3,200 buy-in No Limit Hold'em event with a $200,000 guarantee running Oct. 2-3.

The schedule also features two Senior (50+) events and plenty of other tournaments with guarantees as high as $150,000.

In addition, players can get into some of the bigger events for a fraction of the cost via Super Satellites with buy-ins ranging from $200 to $400.
