The Wynn Spring Classic $1,600 buy-in NLH $1,000,000 GTD attracted a total of 687 entrants, and after five days of play, Kevin Buck collected the title and $166,837 first-place prize after staging a massive comeback to defeat Justin Bond heads-up.
"I just ran good," Buck said after the win. "Made hands at the right time. That was pretty much it."
Buck entered the final day fifth overall, but he was the big mover from the start soaring up the leaderboard and picking up cards at the right time. Buck doubled into the chip lead when he turned top pair and had to fade James Hundt's flush and straight draw.
