Andrew Ormsby has officially transitioned into the role of Director of Poker Operations at Wynn Las Vegas
Wynn Las Vegas has officially appointed Andrew Ormsby as its new Director of Poker Operations following a major leadership shift. Ormsby steps into the role after serving diligently as the poker room manager of operations for the past eight years. He succeeds industry veteran Ryan Beauregard, who recently relocated to assume a vice president position at the upcoming Wynn Al Marjan Island resort.
This promotion ensures a seamless transition for the premier poker room. Ormsby has already played a crucial role in shaping its widespread acclaim and operational success over nearly a decade.
The Massachusetts native brings a diverse background rooted in competitive sports and business management to his new executive position. Ormsby played collegiate basketball at the top tiers while earning his degree in business management with a marketing focus from Eckerd College.
He discovered poker when he was 19, according to information he revealed to PokerNews, and quickly developed a deep understanding of the game. After graduation, he worked for a poker information firm in Florida before traveling extensively as a dedicated player. His career eventually shifted to administration when he accepted a manager position at a small casino, which paved the way for larger roles across Colorado and Nevada.
As the brand prepares for major tournament action, Ormsby aims to preserve the high standards that players expect from the property. He is already overseeing his first major event since the promotion, with the 2026 Wynn Summer Classic currently underway.
While he plans no drastic immediate overhauls, Ormsby is committed to implementing steady enhancements to the player experience. He will oversee a room that regularly handles massive prize pools often exceeding $4 million in a single weekend tournament series. His long history with the staff and player base positions him perfectly to maintain the competitive edge of the property in the global poker market.
