Wynn Summer Classic: "First Time In Vegas" Edson Tsutsumi Jr Wins $2,200 No Limit Hold'em For $652,846

July 10 was a busy day for the poker room cashier at the Wynn Las Vegas, where four tournaments played down to winners at the Wynn Summer Classic.

The final table of the $2,200 No Limit Hold’em knocked out its last eight players, awarding the juiciest cuts of its $4 million dollar prize pool to those top spots.

Two one-day $1,100 No Limit Hold’em events (one turbo, one regular speed) went all the way from no entries to no survivors, as did an entire mixed-game $1,100 T.O.R.S.E. tourney.

A Brazilian pro, Edson Tsutsumi Jr, won the $2,200 No Limit Hold'em ($2m GTD) event. In the process, he earned $652,846 and a Wynn Summer Classic trophy. What's more is that he did so on his first-ever trip to Vegas.

According to a post-game interview with the Wynn staff, this was Tsutsumi's first trip to Vegas. However, he has several live cashes as a local in Brazil as well as remotely in WSOP Online events. These cashes aslo include a runner-up finish in the 2021 WSOP Online $5,000 Main Event where Tsutsumi won $1,907,035.

Tsutsumi's Wynns Summer Classic victory came after three days of play in which he outlasted a field of 2,006 entries that generated a prize pool of $3,981,910.

Tsutumi's heads up opponent was Thomas Muehloecker, a high roller regular with over $10 million in live tournament cashes. He earned $430,853 for second.

Another high roller regular Eugene Katchalov managed to take fourth for $253,48.

With 240 entries and $234,000 in the prize pool, the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Turbo ($100k GTD) was a pretty typical example of this type of tourney, which has been the faithful workhorse of the Wynn Summer Classic schedule.

Alexandru Tibulca came second, falling to Pinnola at the last hurdle but earning $30,228 as part of a heads-up deal.
