On Thursday, March 11, the Wynn Spring Classic held its biggest buy-in of the series — Event #9: $10,500 NLH High Roller. The tournament attracted 83 entries, which resulted in an $830,000 prize pool.
That was paid out to the top 11 finishers. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table of eight were Landon Tice (11th), Brian Altman (10th), and Joseph Cheong (9th), who each received $24,900.
In the end, it was 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Joe McKeehen who defeated Shawn Daniels in heads-up play to win the title for $224,100. The win came just a few days after McKeehen finished runner-up in the WPT Venetian for $491,960.

The Wynn Spring Classic may not immediately jump to mind when you think of long-running Vegas poker series, as competitors like Venetian and Caesar's/WSOP have flooded the market with more events over the years.
However, it does have its own rich history, hosting events dating back more than a decade, to times when it was formerly just the Wynn Classic before fall and summer events were added.
Here's a look at past winners of the event. Note that in 2012 the venue partnered with CardPlayer and the event was rebranded under the CardPlayer Poker Tour.
