2025 Wynn Summer Classic
Daily Tournament Highlights
Day: live
Two events crowned champions at the Wynn Summer Classic on Tuesday, with Philip Shing and Brandon Sheils taking down titles.
There was also the third of four starting flights in the $2,200 Mystery Bounty, which comes with a $3,000,000 guarantee.
Shing When You're Winning
Congratulations go to Philip Shing who took down the $1,600 PLO Bounty for $67,930. He defeated a field of 342 players, with the tournament more than doubling its guaranteed prize pool, generating $492,480.
Shing has over $2.3 million in career earnings, but this is his first live title since 2020 when he won the second of his three WSOP Circuit rings.
888poker Ambassador Vivian Saliba also made a deep run, finishing fifth for $18,842.

2025 Wynn Summer Classic Schedule
Here’s a look at the remaining 2025 Wynn Summer Classic schedule:
Yesterday (June 16), saw another Day 1 flight of the $2,200 Mystery Bounty play out at the 2025 Wynn Summer Classic.
The day also started with a Milestone Satellite to $2,200 Mystery Bounty in the morning — there will be another this morning — and ended with a $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Turbo tournament in the evening.
Brock Wilson Leads Mystery Bounty After Day 1B
Monday saw 264 entries to the $2,200 Mystery Bounty. Yesterday's flight beat those numbers by a large margin, with an additional 484 players buying into the tournament.
This brings the total number of entries into this event up to 748. This doesn't put the prize pool over the $3,000,000 guarantee yet, but there are two more Day 1 flights to go.
The list of players who bagged for Day 2 has now expanded to 92 players.
With the addition of those new stacks, the current top ten on the chip leaderboard has almost entirely changed over. Only the Day 1 chip leader, Rabah Ait Abdelmalek (640,000), held onto one of the top spots.
Abdelmalek has been bumped down to sixth, having been replaced at the top by the new chip leader Brock Wilson (837,000). Wilson stands to add to his already considerable $11.4 million in live cashes.
Other notables who found a bag for Day 2 include Julien Sitbon (636,000), Joshua Mccully (572,000), Vivian Saliba (563,000), Faraz Jaka (411,000), and Ethan "Rampage" Yau (385,000).
Day 1C starts at midday today and there is a satellite to the event running at 10 a.m.

With $250,575 in the prize pool, there was $51,270 up top for Cohen to win. To get there, he had to outlast a tough field that included Ethan "Rampage" Yau (31st - $2,383), Juan Chaves (14th - $3,420), and Rex Clinkscales (21st - $2,595).
Cohen's heads up opponent was Danny Gonzales, who won $35,644 for his second-place finish.
