Fourth of July week in Las Vegas usually means fireworks, barbecue smoke, and, if you’re anywhere near the Wynn Las Vegas poker room, a stacked schedule of six-figure scores. The 2026 Wynn Summer Classic, one of the biggest live poker tournament series of the summer, delivered exactly that in Week 6, headlined by a huge Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) tournament score, a three-way chop in a classic mixed-game event, and a holiday-weekend turbo that packed the room despite the competing patriotic distractions. The Las Vegas poker tournament series continues to attract top professionals and recreational players chasing major payouts during the 2026 poker season.
Here’s a full breakdown of who won what during Week 6, plus where things stand as the series barrels toward its final stretch before wrapping up on July 13.
Headliner: Benjamin Juhasz Takes Down the $3,000 PLO Mystery Bounty for $305,292
The week’s biggest storyline came out of the $3,000 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha Mystery Bounty, one of the marquee mixed-format events on this summer’s Wynn schedule and part of the series’ broader push to give PLO specialists a genuine alternative to grinding no-limit hold’em all summer at the WSOP down the street.
Benjamin Juhasz closed out the tournament by defeating Tom-Aksel Bedell heads-up, collecting the trophy, the $305,292 top prize, and the final mystery bounty on top. Bedell’s runner-up finish still banked him a hefty $207,711, while Robert Shaw rounded out the top three for $155,327. With bounties layered on top of a standard payout structure, Mystery Bounty events like this one tend to produce some of the widest score swings of any format on the schedule , a single knockout can be worth more than winning several regular tournaments combined, which is exactly what made this one worth watching all the way to the final hand.
A Classic Three-Way Chop in the $1,100 H.O.R.S.E.
Mixed-game events always draw a different crowd than the no-limit hold’em mainstays, and the $1,100 H.O.R.S.E. lived up to that reputation this week. Of the 128 players who bought in — combining for a $123,520 prize pool — just 25 survived to Day 2, and by the time the trophy was on the line, the final three players opted to strike a deal rather than gamble it out for the marginal difference in payouts.
Sokchheka Pho, Song Wang, and Fabio Angelo Bianchi agreed to lock in $20,000 apiece, with an additional $6,466 set aside for whoever ultimately took the trophy. Pho came out on top of that side agreement, walking away with $26,466 and the Wynn Summer Classic hardware, while Wang and Bianchi each banked their even $20,000. It’s the kind of sensible, veteran-minded deal that mixed-game specialists — a smaller, tighter-knit community than the mainstream hold’em crowd — tend to reach more often than not once a final table narrows down to a handful of players with similar equity.
Sho Homma Wins the Holiday Turbo
Even with a full slate of Fourth of July festivities competing for attention, the Wynn’s recurring $1,100 No-Limit Hold’em Turbo still pulled in a respectable 195 entries. Sho Homma took down the event, adding another turbo title to what’s become one of the most reliably well-attended recurring tournaments on the entire summer schedule — turbo structures tend to appeal to players who want a shot at a title without committing multiple full days to a single event, which is exactly the kind of format that thrives on a holiday weekend when everyone’s schedule is a little more fragmented than usual.
Still Cooking: The $1,600 Mystery Bounty’s Massive Multi-Flight Field
Not everything wrapped up by the end of Week 6. The Wynn’s $1,600 No-Limit Hold’em Mystery Bounty — carrying a hefty $2 million guarantee and spread across four separate starting flights (1a through 1d) — was still very much in progress as the week closed out, and the field size alone made it one of the stories of the week regardless of the final result.
Day 1a drew 234 entries, and Day 1b more than doubled that figure to 538, pushing the combined total through two flights to 772 entries with 96 players surviving into Day 2. Abbas Heidari emerged as the chip leader after Day 1b with 967,000 in chips, one of only two players in the field to hold a 100-big-blind-plus stack at that stage, against an average stack of 321,667. With two more starting flights (1c and 1d) still to come featuring deep 40,000-chip starting stacks, this event is on pace to comfortably clear its guarantee and will likely be the headline result carrying into Week 7’s roundup.
Where the Wynn Summer Classic Stands Overall
Six weeks into the 55-day series, the Wynn Summer Classic continues to run directly alongside the WSOP down the street at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, giving grinders in town for the summer a genuine second option for major-guarantee action without having to choose one venue over the other. The series already produced one of its biggest individual scores back in Week 4, when Sebastian Toro Henao took down the NHL Championship for $908,139, and organizers are still chasing last year’s benchmark of over $77 million in total prizes paid out across the full summer.
With the $2 million-guaranteed Mystery Bounty still playing out and the series’ broader mixed-game and PLO slate continuing through the following weeks, Week 7 is shaping up to have plenty to build on before the Wynn Summer Classic wraps for the year on July 13.
