$3,500 Main Event
Day 6 Started
Welcome to the last and final day of the $3,500 Wynn Millions Main Event here at the beautiful Wynn Las Vegas. A total of 1,314 entries joined the field over three starting flights and after five action-packed days of poker, only nine players remain in the hunt for Wynn Millions glory.
Once the dust settled on Day 5, Zachary Donovan bagged the top stack with 11,775,000 in chips. Donovan, who is now a Las Vegas local, said he primarily plays cash games around the area as well as most of the major tournament events in the city. Donovan has close to $2.2 Million in earnings and with his largest score being just over $260,000, will look to smash that record with the $654,637 top-prize.
Donovan will definitely have his work cut out with the likes of Pedro Ingles (7,175,000), Andrew Esposito (6,175,000), and Jacob Powers (6,075,000) close on his heels.

"Why my big blind? Please not me," Zhigang Yang pleaded.
Andrew Esposito found out that it was a blind raise and then made it 1,600,000 on his left. Michael Rossitto thought for a minute and then shoved all in for 7,050,000 in the cutoff.
"Every time I do this at a final table, it creates a lot of action," Powers chuckled as the action folded back to Esposito. He asked for a count but opted to send his cards to the muck as well.
