Event 4 – $300 No-Limit Hold’em
Event no. 4 at the Card Player Poker Tour Wynn Las Vegas drew a total of 168 entrants, each putting up the $300 buy-in to build a prize pool of $44,000. A total of 18 players made the money, but the last player standing was William Schonscheck, who earned $11,000 for his first career tournament title.
Schonscheck defeated tournament circuit regular Christina Lindley heads-up, with an unavoidable cooler sealing the deal. On the final hand Schonsheck held a modest chip lead when he picked up A

In order to meet the $100,000 guarantee, the $440 buy-in no-limit event has to only draw 258 players. Nearly that many turned out for the first starting day alone, with 213 entries by the end of registration adding $82,000 to the prizepool.
A total of 26 players from the first starting day survived and will combine with those who make it through day 1B to play down to a champion on Friday.
