'Won it Obv:' Harrison' Gimbel Takes Down Wynn Millions Championship for $455K
Table Of Contents
Harrison Gimbel won the Wynn Millions $3,000 Championship, earning $455,388 for his victory.
The Championship is the Wynn Millions festival's main event, coming with an enormous trophy that should look good on Gimbel's shelf, joining his considerable collection of poker baubles.
That collection already includes a triple crown of sorts with a PCA title for winning the 2010 PCA $10,500 Main Event, a WPT title for the 2016 WPT Rolling Thunder $,3500 Main Event, and a WSOP bracelet for the 2017 WSOP Event #68: $3,000 No Limit Hold'em.
Harrison Gimbel Takes It Down
Gimbels victory at the Wynn is his sixth live cash of the year, but is his only first-place finish and six-figure score since he won his WSOP bracelet in 2017. Although he has consistently cashed in tournaments since then, the top spot has eluded him for a little over seven and a half years.
In 2017, his victory in the $3,000 NLH bracelet event netted him $ 645,922 for beating a field of 1,349 players. In 2025, the Wynn Millions Main Event event attracted a field of 1,003 players for a total prize pool of $2,728,160, comfortably fulfilling the event's $2 million guarantee and putting $455,388 up top for first.
Winning this top prize brings Gimbel's total live cashes up to $5,649,699.

Brevity. Soul. Wit.
Gimbel posted regular updates to X.com throughout the tournament but his posts on the final day of the event have a "baby shoes" level of conciseness.
His final post from the previous day ends, "[...] Ft tomorrow noon."
On the day of the final table, his first post reads: "Heads up." The second: "Won it obv."
Gimbel's win attracted congratulations from other poker notables including Andrew Neeme and Faraz Jaka, both of whom also posted their congrats on X.com.
The accolades were hard won as every player in the final nine had a strong track record in live tournaments. However, it was a French pro, Cecile Ticherfatine, who ended up as Gimbel's heads up opponent.
Ticherfatine took home $310,901 for her second-place finish.
