Welcome to Day 2ab of the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Wynn Millions ($10M GTD)
The inaugural Wynn Summer Classic has been in full effect this past month, attracting some of poker's best players, and the pinnacle event on the schedule has reached the point of no return. For the past three days, the Wynn Millions has pulled a staggering 1,328 total entries, which generated a $12,483200 prize pool.
A total of 486 players are still in contention from the total entries which meant, the massive remaining field was split into two separate Day 2's with the first 240 players who found a bag during Days 1a and 1b returning for action today at noon.
