Schutten Claims Final High Roller Tournament of 2022 Wynn Millions
On Wednesday, after busting just short of the money in the $10 million guaranteed Wynn Millions Main Event, Brekstyn Schutten shipped Event #5 in the Wynn High Roller series. He defeated a field of 43 entrants en route to victory in the $15,000 buy-in tournament.
The ICU nurse from Michigan had a tough uphill battle to overcome at the final table. He entered just fourth in chips out of seven players. But he dominated play throughout and came out victorious.
Dragana Lim, the last woman standing in the 2021 WSOP Main Event, took seventh place for $25,800. Dan Smith, one of the best players ever to have never won a WSOP title, went out in sixth place ($38,700). PokerGO founder Cary Katz ended up in fourth place ($70,950), and Schutten dusted off Stanley Tang ($141,900) heads-up to win the tournament.
