The 2022 Wynn Summer Classic $3,500 NLH Championship will culminate at Wynn Las Vegas as the final day begins at 12 noon local time.
There were 1,428 total entries across three flights to create a $4,605,300 prize pool in the prestigious tournament. Now, only 24 players remain with one ultimate goal, yet only one player will win the $696,011 first-place prize and glamorous Wynn trophy.
Ankush Mandavia will be heading into the day as the chip leader with 93 big blinds. Andrew Moreno, winner of the inaugural Wynn Millions Main Event, has a top-ten stack and an opportunity to claim another premier Wynn trophy. James Romero, Mohammad Siddiqui, and Jacky Wang are a few other players with top-ten stacks when play resumes.

German player Daniel Smiljkovic bagged the Day 1b chip lead, and continues to hold a healthy stack with just over 69 big blinds. Mexico’s Diego Sanchez bagged the second-biggest stack of Day 1b, while United Kingdom’s Mike Allen bagged the third-biggest stack of Day 1b, and both players are also returning to the felt for the third and final day.
Canada’s Albert Nguyen will be looking to possibly improve upon his career-high cash from November 2021, a runner-up finish in a similar championship event during the Wynn Fall Classic.
Four French players are also still in the mix, with Ivan Deyra, Yannick Cardot, Lorenzo Lavis, and Nicolas Noguera all having a shot at the trophy.
When action resumes, players will begin Level 26 with blinds at 30,000/60,000 with a 60,000 big blind ante. Levels will be 60 minutes each, and play is scheduled to continue until one player holds all of the chips.

Stephan Nussrallah limped from under the gun and action folded around to James Romero in the small blind, who also limped. The dealer then thought Yuki Kashihara checked his option out of the big blind and pulled the chips into the middle. Kashihara objected and the chips were pushed back out of the pot, at which point Kashihara announced all in for 1,295,000. Nussrallah gave his decision some thought before making the call with the covering stack and attempted to turn over his cards before the table as a whole pointed out that there was still live action with Romero. Romero folded and Kashihara was officially at risk.
Yuki Kashihara:
Stephan Nussrallah:
Though at risk, Kashihara was in a good spot to get the double up. He fell behind, however, on the flop but did pick up an open ender. That draw came in immediately on the
turn and the
river completed the board to send the pot Kashihara's way, getting him off to a dream start early on Day 3.

Shurbaji showed , but it was no good against Smiljkovic's
, and even more so against Lavis'
boat. Shurbaji made his way to the payout desk, while Lavis secured the double.

Picking up the action on the turn, Mike Allen in early position was involved in a hand with Stephan Nussrallah out of the big blind. With the board reading Nussrallah moved all in and, after a moments hesitation, Allen called off for his tournament life.
Mike Allen:
Stephan Nussrallah:
Though it was not entirely clear what order the board had been dealt, it is likely that Nussrallah had flopped a two pair that had been counterfeited on the turn, giving Allen the better two pair. As a result, heading to the river Allen was in a good spot to get the double. The rolled off the deck, however, improving Nussrallah to a full house and sending Allen home in brutal fashion.
