On June 6, the $1,100 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournament during the Wynn Summer Classic attracted 242 entrants, creating a prize pool of $237,160, easily surpassing the $200,000 guarantee.
Players from all around the world, not just here in Nevada, showed up to compete. In the end, it was California resident Edvin Setaghian as the only player still with chips. The champion received $59,930 for his impressive and dominant performance at the luxurious Wynn Resort in Las Vegas.
Prior to that championship run, Setaghian had just $69,000 in career live tournament scores, according to Hendon Mob, so he nearly doubled his prior cashes.
Setaghian defeated Jose Catela from Portugal heads up to win the title. The runner-up didn't leave empty-handed, however, and took home $36,997 for his deep run. The final table of nine featured players from three separate countries (United States, Portugal and Hungary). Valdemar Kwaysser (5th place for $12,403) and Marton Czoszor (7th place for $7,684) are both Hungarians.

The details of this hand were related to PokerNews by a player at the table.
Darren Elias opened to 600 on the button and was three-bet by Joe Schulman out of the small blind. The big blind then four-bet to 3,500 and Elias responded by five-betting to 8,000. In a scene reminiscent of the poker boom, Schulman six-bet to 23,600 and the big blind folded.
Elias seemed utterly perplexed by the crazy amount of action and, after thinking for several minutes, made what one can only assume was a big laydown.
