Those who bought into the Wynn Millions discovered a drastically different Main Event. The membership fee will drop from $10,000 to $3,500 in 2023. There was a big drop in the guaranteed amount from $10,000,000 to $3,000,000.
Notwithstanding the adjustments, 1,314 competitors made the trip to Las Vegas for the tournament. After nine days of intense competition, Michael Rossito emerged victorious. The Italian’s winnings of $604,637 were the most he had ever received in a single payment.
With the sixth highest stack, Rossitto made it to the final table. He started causing problems for the leads at the 6-handed table, and he never stopped. The European went all in before the flip and won against Jacob Powers’ A-6, eliminating him.
The next man to fall prey to the champion was the Spanishman Pedro Ingles. Again, he went all in before the flip and won, this time with A-K against A-J.
Rossitto got an out on the board to send Mark Zajdner home on a coin toss of A-K vs J-J. Despite his 2:0 advantage, he barely survived to the tournament’s last round of eliminations.
Rossitto led off with 86 and merely checked before a limp after recovering the lead and pulling away from Esposito. Esposito bet before calling Rossitto’s check-raise after the flip of K75. Esposito check-called a c-bet from Rossitto on the turn 4. The action moved to the river, where Rossitto finally declared all-in. Esposito deliberated for so long that he failed to answer the hero call with 97.
