Default Congrats to pweizer

On a great 5th place finish (out of 160 entries) in the Annual Wynn Handicapping tournament this past weekend in Vegas.
Over $300,000 was up for grabs with some of the very best contest players in the country together in the amazing Wynn race book.
pweizer proved once again why he is a pro at these events and, had he not lost a dirty photo in the 11th race at SAR Saturday he may have won it all for the second time.

It was a very well run tournament in which 100% of the money is returned to the players. Not to mention just loads of fun betting Saratoga and Del Mar over 2 days in such a great setting.
I can't wait until next year to try to improve upon my 53th place finish.

Well played Paul

Thanks Jack. It was nice of you to post. I had a good couple of days and made a few dollars.

The Wynn is the best contest out there. I would encourage everyone thinking about contests to consider this next year.

To play in an event where more than 100% of all entry fees are returned is very rare these days. Here, you not only get that but also two entries into the NHC, full tour points, free food and drinks in the very best race book in town, and more.

Congrats, PW!

You are absolutely right about Wynn being the best race book in town. It is awesome.

Tremendous job Paul.. Congratulations! It's an amazing accomplishment being part of the elite group of perennial NHC qualifiers who make it to January virtually every year.
