Money Bubble Will Burst as Eveslage, Daniels, Simao Lead 154 Players Into Day 3 of Wynn Millions Main Event
Day 3 of the 2nd annual $10,000 buy-in, $10 million GTD Wynn Millions Main Event is almost underway and will kick off at noon local time as part of 2022 Wynn Millions at Wynn Las Vegas.
Day 3 will be the first time all of the players in the field combine, as the survivors of Day 2ab and Day 2c will compete, and the money bubble will be broken. A min-cash will be worth $22,029, but all eyes are on the $1,655,952 first-place prize and the glamorous Wynn Millions Main Event trophy.
Chad Eveslage leads the field of 154 players with 939,000 chips, good for just under 188 big blinds heading into the day. Jake Daniels (837,000) and Brazilian Joao Simao (754,000) are next up on the leaderboard, while David Miscikowski (731,000) and popular French poker vlogger Johan Guilbert (705,000) round out the top five stacks.
Defending champion Andrew Moreno, who took down the 2021 Wynn Millions Main Event for over $1.4 million, will be looking for another run as he comes into the day with 185,000 chips. Other players from that previous final table who are still in contention for the 2022 title include Philip Shing (402,000) and Salim Admon (263,000).
This year's Main Event attracted many of poker's biggest and brightest stars to generate a total prize pool of $10,105,000 off of 1,075 entries. Other players who will be in the Day 3 field include Ali Imsirovic, Ryan Riess, Faraz Jaka, Shaun Deeb, Nick Schulman, Vanessa Kade, David Jackson, Shannon Shorr, Landon Tice, and Matt Berkey.
