For the first time ever before, the World Poker Tour is heading to Wynn Las Vegas. The action goes down in December, bringing the trip’s present season to a record-breaking verdict.

The 2022 WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas $10,400 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event features a staggering $15 million guaranteed prize pool – the largest in live tournament poker history.

“This is one of the most ambitious initiatives the World Poker Tour has undertaken in our 20-year history,” said WPT CEO Adam Pliska. “We expect this to be a highly anticipated festival and are elated to be partnering with Wynn Las Vegas to bring this concept to life.”

The WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas will feature a televised final table. There will be three single-entry starting flights, each beginning at 11 a.m. local time from Dec. 12-14, with the champion set to be decided at the final table played on Dec. 20. Players will start with 100,000 in tournament chips, with hour-long levels to start and 90-minute levels later on in the tournament.

In addition to earning the lion’s share of the massive eight-figure prize pool, the eventual champion will also have their name added to the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup, named after the late WPT host and Poker Hall of Fame member.

According to a recent press release from the WPT, more than 500 players are expected to qualify for this monumental event via online and in-person satellites. WPT World Championship passports, valued at $12,000, have already been awarded through WPT Global, ClubWPT™ and the WPT live casino partners around the world. For more information about the many avenues to win your way into this event, check out the WPT’s official website.

This will be the tenth and final WPT main tour event of the season. So far, seven WPT main events have been completed, with nearly 8,500 entries made and $30.1 million in total prize money awarded along the way. That’s an average turnout of over 1,200 entries per event, with nearly $4.3 million paid out per tournament.

There are to be two more WPT main events that will be held before the season-ending champion, the first being the WPT Five Diamond at Bellagio Hotel Casino in late October and the second the WPT Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood in November.

While the guarantee for the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas is unprecedented, this tournament will not be the first eight-figure guaranteed event that the Wynn has run.

The venue is now set to raise the stakes even higher alongside the WPT.

The series kicks off with a $500,000 guaranteed $600 buy-in no-limit hold’em event that spans from Dec. 1-4, with six starting flights and a final day to decide a champion. There will also be a pair of high roller events, with a $25,700 buy-in running Dec. 11-12 and a $10,500 buy-in on Dec. 18.

In 2021, the WSOP Europe €10,350 no-limit hold’em main event established a record for the largest turnout in the tournament’s background with 688 entries. The 2022 WSOPE main event blew that number away, with 763 entries being made by the time registration officially closed. Consequently, the prize pool grew to $7,248,500, with six-figure payouts or more for the top nine finishers.

Ultimately, the largest cash advance of all was the $1,380,129 protected by eventual champ Omar Eljach, that won a marathon heads-up battle to secure his first gold bracelet and the top prize of $1,380,129.

“It’s really hard to describe. So many emotions, all of them amazing. Such a draining battle. I feel relief, I feel incredible joy,” The Stockholm, Sweden resident told WSOP reporters. “Yeah, it’s an amazing feeling.”

This event played from Nov. 11-17, with two starting flights and four more days of action. The first starting flight was the larger of the two, with 514 entries on that day alone. For perspective, that turnout was more than the entire field for the majority of the WSOPE main events held to this point.

Day 1B added another 132 entries, while another 117 late entries were made early on day 2. After registration closed at the start of level 13, the field ceased to add players and instead only shed them. There were only 166 players remaining at the end of day 2, with 115 set to cash.

The money bubble burst on day 3, with Daewoong Song being the last player eliminated outside of the money. Notables who cashed included the likes of 2019 champion of this event Alexandros Kolonias (97th), bracelet winner Christopher Frank (93rd), bracelet winner and World Poker Tour champion Mike Leah (89th), two-time bracelet winner Yuval Bronshtein (84th), recent high roller bracelet winner Orpen Kisacikoglu (75th), 2018 champion of this event Jack Sinclair ($21,973), four-time bracelet winner Julien Martini (61st), reigning WSOP ladies event champion Jessica Teusl (54th), and bracelet winner Timothy Adams (9th).

The final day began with Omar Eljach in the lead and just eight players still contending. Bracelet winner Alexandre Reard was the first to fall. The Frenchman from Beaubourg ran pocket queens into the pocket aces of Eljach. Top set on the flop turned into the nut flush for Eljach by the river and Reard was eliminated in eighth place ($138,702).

Two-time bracelet winner Barny Boatman’s run came to an end when his pocket aces were outflopped by the Q-J of five-time bracelet winner Shaun Deeb. Deeb hit two pair and raised Boatman’s continuation bet. Boatman shoved and Deeb called. The turn and river were no help to Boatman and he finished seventh for $180,867. He now has more than $3.7 million in recorded scores to his name.

A classic preflop race spelled the end of Armin Rezaei’s quest for the title in this event. He shoved all-in from the button with pocket jacks and received a call from Eljach, who had picked up A-Q in the big blind. An ace-high flop saw Eljach surge into a lead that he would never relinquish and Rezaei was knocked out in sixth place. He earned $239,466 for his strong showing, the largest score of his career.

Romania’s Paul-Adrian Covaciu was on the other side of a coin flip involving pocket jacks. He held K-Q, and this time the pocket pair remained best by the river. Covaciu was awarded $321,838 for his fifth-place finish, blowing away his previous top score by nearly a quarter of a million dollars.

Four-handed play lasted roughly 90 minutes. The stalemate ended when Vladas Tamasauskas called all-in with pocket nines facing a raise from Deeb, who was the clear chip leader at the time, and a three-bet shove from bracelet winner Jonathan Pastore. Deeb got out of the way and Pastore revealed pocket eights. Tamasauskas was ahead preflop, but an eight hit the board right away to move Pastore into the lead. Tamasauskas had a straight draw, but the board paired on the turn to leave him needing a nine on the end. When one failed to materialize, the Lithuanian hit the rail with a career-best payday of $438,978.

At one point during four-handed play, Deeb had extended his lead to the point that he had roughly half of the total chips in play, but his lead deteriorated quickly during a rough stretch of three-handed action. Shortly after making a correct laydown with trips against the rivered straight of Pastore, Deeb lost a massive hand calling with what ended up being fourth pair on the river. He was up against top and bottom pair for Eljach, who surged into the lead after dragging that pot.

Deeb continued to slide until he called a small-blind shove from Eljach with AHeart SuitJDiamond Suit from the big blind. Eljach had shoved with QClub Suit3Club Suit, which made a pair of threes on the flop to move ahead. The turn paired the board and the river was a blank. With that, Deeb was eliminated in third place. The $607,531 he was awarded in this event grew his career earnings to more than $12 million.

This was Deeb’s sixth final-table finish of the year, with $1,339,690 in POY earnings so far in 2022. With the 1,520 points he earned in this event, he moved into 48th place in the POY standings.

Heads-up play began with Eljach holding 43,000,000 to Pastore’s 33,000,000. The final two went on to battle it out for more than six hours. The lead changed hands multiple times, with the shorter stack mounting a comeback each of the first few times their opponent began to pull away.

The final hand was dealt when Eljach held roughly a 4:3 lead. With blinds of 400,000-800,000 and a big blind ante of 800,000, Pastore raised to 1,800,000 on the button with AClub Suit8Diamond Suit. Eljach looked down at QSpade SuitQDiamond Suit in the big blind and three-bet to 5,800,000. Pastore four-bet shoved all-in for around 32 million and Eljach snap-called.

The board ran out 8Heart Suit7Spade Suit2Spade SuitJHeart SuitJClub Suit to lock up the title for Eljach.

Pastore earned $852,949 and 1,900 POY points as the runner-up. This was the largest score of the French player’s career, surpassing the $771,765 he earned as the winner of the WSOP $5,000 no-limit hold’em six max event in Las Vegas this summer. These two huge scores were enough to move him into 26th place in the POY standings.
