Der Wynn Poker Room ist eine der Anlaufstellen in Las Vegas, wenn es um gute Pokeraction geht. Derzeit finden die Winter Classics statt, bei dem der Deutsche Timo Kamphues mal eben einen Titel und satte $202.787 an Cash einsacken konnte.
Insgesamt 1.230 Spieler fanden sich im Wynn Poker Room für dieses Event ein, bei dem der Veranstalter $500.000 garantiert hatte, um für $1.100 Buy-In am Ende um einen satten Preispool in Höhe von $1.204.416 zu spielen. Kamphues setzte sich am Ende vor Max Young aus Florida, USA, durch der für die Runner-Up-Platzierung $125.356 bekam. Der Kanadie Ryan Yu bekam als Dritter $86.032.
Bisher scheint der Deutsche Kamphues aus Muhltal ein noch relativ unbeschriebenes Blatt im Turnierpoker, auf Hendonmob kann er bisher „nur“ Cashes für insgesamt knapp $10k verzeichnen. Kamphues war der einzige Spieler aus dem DACH-Raum, der bei diesem Turnier der Wynn Winter Classic-Reihe überhaupt antrat. Am Ende holte er den Sieg – und baut seine Live-Time-Earnings um mehr als $200k auf.
