Dia 1c Terminado
Day 1c of the Wynn Summer Classic $3,500 NLH Championship, the last of three starting flights, came to a close after 15-levels and 12 hours of play. Once the dust settled 131 players from a starting field of 756 were able to find a bag for Day 2. Leading those survivors is Canadian Demosthenes Kiriopoulos, sitting on a stack of 773,000. Kiriopoulos recently finished 10th in the 2021 WSOP Main Event for a career high $585,000 and will be looking to build on that success. Second in chips is Thomas Eychenne with 677,000. WSOP gold bracelet winner Barry Hutter rounds out the top three, sitting just behind Eychenne on 675,000.
Several notables were among those players able to secure a seat on Day 2. They include Japan's all time live earnings leader Tsugunari Toma (653,000), four time bracelet winner David Peters (394,000) and BetMGM sponsored pro Darren Elias (263,000).
Other big names fired a bullet or two in this, the last opportunity to take a shot in the tournament, but with no success. They include 2005 WSOP Main Event champion Joe Hachem, three time bracelet winner Chance Kornuth and high roller regular and accused cheat Jake Schindler.

With all starting flights complete, the total number of entrants has been confirmed at 1,428, generating a prize pool of $4,605,300 and smashing the guarantee of $3,500,000. That prize pool will be divided amongst the top 152 finishers with the eventual winner receiving $696,011. Since 233 players will return for Day 2, the various Day 1 survivors are not yet guaranteed a minimum cash worth $8,013.
The remaining players will combine into one field tomorrow, Monday, June 27th at 12 p.m. PDT at which point they will play out ten 60-minute levels before the survivors bag for Day 3.

Players are now bagging and tagging and will return for Day 2 with the rest of the field on Monday, June 27 at noon. Stay tuned for some chip counts and a recap of the day.
A player in middle position opened to 11,000 and Tsugunari Toma called on the button.
The flop came and the middle position player continued for 8,000. Toma responded with a raise to 25,000 only to see his opponent move all in for 150,000. Toma went deep into the tank but eventually found a call to put the middle position player at risk.
Middle Position Player:
Tsugunari Toma:
Toma had made the correct call but would need to fade diamonds as well as his opponent's two overcards in order to win the pot. The turn was safe and the river bricked out for the middle position player to end his tournament and send the large pot Toma's way.

The tournament director has announced that players will play six more hands before bagging and tagging for the night.
A player opened to 12,000 on the button and Bin Weng three-bet to 44,000 out of the small blind. The button called to send the two players heads-up to the flop.
Weng continued for 34,000 on the flop but it was not enough to get rid of his opponent who called.
Action checked through the turn to the river where Weng announced all in. The button player did not take long to make the call and Weng mucked as his opponent flipped over for top pair and the double. Weng, meanwhile, is still sitting on a large stack.

Before the blinds went up, on a board with roughly 50,000 in the pot, a player checked. Chance Kornuth was sitting one seat to his opponent's left and bet 32,000. His opponent thought about it and called after facing Kornuth's signature stare.
The completed the board and Kornuth's opponent checked. Kornuth slid out a bet of 80,000, leaving only 4,000 behind. His opponent put in the calling chips.
"Ace-king," said Kornuth as he tabled and collected the pot to chip up when his opponent mucked.
