The Wynn Classic


Steady yourself for this announcement.
It may come as a bit of a shock.

Check your life assurance policy.
Remember your first kiss.
Pour yourself a scotch.

Ready?

OK, but don’t say you weren’t warned.

There is a poker tournament taking place in Las Vegas!!!!

Yes folks, it’s time to sing like ZZ TOP as the Wynn Casino competes with the Atomic Testing Museum for tourists’ dollars by hosting the Wynn Classic. Some readers may think the organisers are taking a risk hosting such an event in a city that has an economy based on the convergence of gaming and tourism, but after the success of last year’s inaugural competition, the casino will expect further footfall.

It started on Feb 26, runs until March 19 and offers plenty of scope for players. The tournaments include NL, PL, Omaha Hi/Lo and HOSE games but the biggie is the $10,000 buy in NL game starting on March 16. Last year winner Zachary Hyman snagged close to $750,000 and this year’s pool is expected to be even bigger. Eyebrows will keep you updated on this epoch starting event.
