The Estepona native will face the Wynn Summer Championship final table from third place. He’s guaranteed $213,437 for reaching the final table.
The Wynn Summer Classic , one of the most iconic summer festivals in Las Vegas, is experiencing its final two weeks with a Spaniard in the midst of fighting for glory in one of the most important events on the calendar. 

Mario Navarro has made it to the final table of the Wynn Summer Championship , Event #60 of the prestigious festival held in Sin City, and he did it in style: he will start in third place among the nine finalists.

The $10,400 buy-in tournament had 1,537 entrants , generating a massive $15,062,600 prize pool – one of the largest of the summer outside of the WSOP . The winner will walk away with a staggering $2,339,200 , and Mario is guaranteed at least $213,437 for his presence at this final table.

9th 213,437

The Spanish player has a stack of 12,650,000 and is only ahead of the Japanese Jun Obara (16,275,000) and the Czech Michael Sklenicka (14,550,000). At the final table he will have to contend with such well-known and feared names as Julian Pineda , Roeland Peeks , Yulian Bogdanov , Daniel Rezaei , Jonah Labranche and the veteran Roberto Romanello . 

The final table will be a real battle, but we’re sure Mario will give a masterclass in how to play a FT of this caliber.

This is how the 9 finalists will start:
