Saturday, June 6, at the Wynn Summer Classic is a quiet day after a busy Friday in which the $1.5m guaranteed Wynn Summer Classic $1,100 No Limit Hold'em event crowned a winner along with two other events.
Daniel Smiljkovic won the $1.5 million guaranteed event, taking home $311,935 for his first-place finish.
Today, the schedule is a little less busy with a return of the two backbone events of the Wynn Summer Classic. At midday, there is a $1,100 No Limit Hold'em event with a $200,000 guarantee and at 6:00 p.m there is a $100,000 guaranteed No Limit Hold'em Turbo event.
Both events have similar structures, with the main difference being the turbo event's much faster blinds. They will clock in at 20 minutes per level, whereas the non-turbo event has 30-minute levels.

Justin Lapka beat a small field of 172 players in the Wynn Summer Classic $1,100 No Limit Hold'em yesterday.
Lapka earned $51,288 thanks to his victory. His first-place prize got a nice boost in value thanks to the Wynn, which had guaranteed the event's prize pool at $200,000.
Because the event didn't reach its guarantee, all 21 players who cashed in the event earned overlay-sweetened prizes.
At the top of the list, right below Lapka were Lulu Yi and Yurii Zabrodotskyi, who took home second and third, earning $30,796 and $21,986, respectively.
