2026 Wynn Summer Classic
There are a dozen players with monster stacks heading to Day 2 in the $1,100 No-Limit Hold'em on Monday. But no one has more chips than Matthew Davenport, who bagged 1,131,000 on Day 1, good for 141 big blinds.
That's an impressive stack, no doubt, but Davenport will be facing some close competition with three other players over 1 million chips. Not only that, but there two others with over 100 big blinds.
Day 2 kicks off at 1 p.m. at Wynn Las Vegas with 185 of the original 1,492 players returning to action. It will be a grueling battle to the finish line in a tournament with over $1.4 million in the prize pool.

We're getting into full swing at the Wynn Summer Classic now that the calendar has shifted to June.
On Monday, we'll start things off at 11 a.m. local time with Day 1a of one of the biggest events of the summer, and that is the $1,100 No-Limit Hold'em, a tournament with $1.5 million guaranteed. There will be five Day 1 flights running through June 3, with the Day 2 restart scheduled for June 4.
At 1 p.m. today, the 185 players who still have chips in a separate $1,100 No-Limit Hold'em tournament, this one a $1 million guaranteed event that has over $1.4 million in the prize pool, will come back to Wynn Las Vegas for Day 2. Matthew Davenport is holding onto the chip lead in that one.
The $1.5 million guaranteed NLH event will have a second Day 1 starting flight on Monday at 6 p.m.
Stay tuned to PokerNews tomorrow to find out how Monday's action all played out.
There are two opportunities to enter the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em event at the Wynn Summer Classic today. This $1,000,000 guaranteed event will dominate the poker room and, in fact, its two flights are the only Wynn Summer Classic events on the docket this Sunday.
At 11:00 a.m., the day kicks off with Day 1C of the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em event. This flight has 40-minute blind levels. Late registration will be available until around 6:30 p.m.
If you miss that flight or want something a little faster-paced, the Day 1D flight of the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em event begins at 7:30 p.m., an hour after registration closes for Day 1C. Day 1D will be a Turbo flight with shorter, 20-minute blind levels, and its registration will close at 10:30 p.m.
Survivors from both fields will join the players who bagged on Days 1A and 1B for a combined Day 2. This Day 2 kicks off at 1:00 p.m. on Monday with the Final Table starting the day after at noon.

Just 82 players coughed up the $1,100 buy-in to play the Wynn Summer Classic $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Turbo on Saturday. As a result, there was a huge overlay as the event failed to hit its $100,000 guarantee.
All the players who cashed enjoyed a bump in pay thanks to the overlay provided by the Wynn. However, the player who should be most grateful for this added value is Roy Lo, whose first-place prize was bumped was up to $29,670.
Behind him were Carlos Vizoso (2nd - $18,500) and James Leonard (3rd - $12,950).
