As the smell of gunpowder smoke and summer barbecue fades in the wake of the nation's Fourth of July celebrations, the Wynn is hosting two Wynn Summer Classic events this Sunday.

The first event, shuffling up and dealing at 11:00 a.m., is Day 1b of the $1,600 No Limit Hold'em Mystery Bounty event. This tournament has a $2 million guarantee and deep starting stacks of 40,000 in chips, with 40-minute blind levels.

Late registration is available until 6:30 p.m. local time.

The second event of the day doesn't start until 6:00 p.m. The $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Turbo needs no real introduction; it is one of the staples of the Wynn Summer Classic.

Sunday's edition of the event will have a $100,000 guarantee, 20-minute blind levels and late registration until around 9:00 p.m.

With just the first flight out of the way, the Wynn Summer Classic $1,600 No Limit Hold'em Mystery Bounty has already hit a prize pool of $334,620. However, with a $2 million guarantee, the three remaining Day 1 flights still have a ways to run before getting out of the overlay zone.

For now, though, with 234 entries already bought in and 29 survivors making it to Day 2 so far, the event is off to a strong start.

Giorgi Arveladze leads the field with 887,000 in chips. He is joined on the podium by Sean McNulty (in second with 669,000) and Anatoly Nikitin (in third with 666,000).

They will return on Tuesday, July 7, for Day 2. Between then and now, there will be three more Day 1 flights.

One later today at 11:00 a.m. local time and two on Monday, one of which will be played with a faster, 20-minute clock.

Five-card Omaha (or Big O) continues to grow in popularity, as evidenced by the turnout on a national holiday. Despite the pull of hot dog eating competitions and firework displays, the $100,000 guaranteed event hit 358 entries, putting $349,050 in the pot.

The extra hole cards in 5-card Omaha clearly agreed with Arie Kliper, who took the event down for $71,160.

Kliper defeated Alejandro Gonzalez heads-up for the gold.

Gonzalez earned $48,574 for his second-place finish while third-place finisher, Christopher Meza, earned $35,984.

Here’s All the Big Changes & Topics from this Year’s TDA Summit XII

Earlier this week, the Tournament Directors Association (TDA) held its biennial summit, which debuted back in 2001. The TDA Summit XII was held inside PokerGO Studio and attracted more than 200 industry folks from around the world.

“The goal of the TDA remains that we want a standard set of rules that players, tournament directors, and card room managers can reference,” said TDA board member Matt Savage, who recently appeared on the PokerNews Podcast to talk about the summit.

“It was an eventful meeting again. No major rule changes this time around, but some good tweaks to existing ones,” said famed tournament director and PokerStars Ambassador Kenny Hallaert. “It’s always good for the game of poker to share some our experiences from PokerStars events with the rest of the industry and pick up new ideas from other operators.”

Likewise, PokerStars EPT Tournament Director Toby Stone told PokerNews: “The beauty of the TDA Summit is the mutual exchange of knowledge. Our core focus is always on making tournaments safer, fairer, and more enjoyable for the players. While the EPT is proud to already implement a lot of the cutting-edge rules and security measures being discussed, the summit is about lifting the global standard together. A huge congratulations to Matt Savage on 25 years of the TDA. What he started back then has transformed the live poker landscape, and his ongoing work continues to protect and grow the game we all love.”
