A round-up of live tournaments from the periphery of the World Series of Poker including wins for Jack Salter and Julien Sitbon at The Wynn, and Brian Altman and Brett Apter at The Venetian.

Occasionally, the dreamers that have come to Las Vegas to win gold bracelets leave their Rio-based colony, and when they do, two of their alternative anthills are The Wynn and The Venetian.

The Wynn Summer Classic takes in the loose shavings from the World Series of Poker (WSOP) lathe, and in the past week, two $1k events have been on the schedule.

Louis Salter conquered a field of 484-entrants, including beating the mighty Connor Drinan, heads-up, to win the first of two $1k events. The win was Salter’s third of his career, and the British pro has now earned more than $1.3m in live tournament earnings.
