The
$10,000 buy-in, $10,000,000 GTD Wynn Millions attracted 1,328 entries over three starting flights, which surpassed the seven-figure guarantee by creating a $12,483,200 prize pool (the largest in Wynn Poker history). A hefty $2,018,866 first-place prize awaits the winner while the runner-up is slated to receive $1,248,886.
On Monday, 240 players returned for Day 2ab with
Bryn Kenney, tournament poker s all-time money leader, and his stack 376,500 leading the way. Coming in with the seventh-largest stack of 295,500 was
Alex Foxen. Eventually, the latter was moved to the former s table and a hand for the ages would go down.
At the time, Foxen had chipped up into the chip lead ever so slightly over Kenney, who appeared to still be the other big stack in the room. That is when the two poker superstars had a head-on collision.

Five figures to enter a poker tournament, like the $10,000 buy-in for the Wynn Millions, is a little too steep for a lot of players. That is why Ryan Beauregard and his crew at Wynn Poker made sure to offer step qualifiers to give every poker player a route to play the summer s most anticipated event.
Chad Alberti, a member of the rising Poker 4 Breakfast Facebook group, is the prime example of turning a small investment and parlaying it into a golden opportunity.
