$1,600 Mystery Bounty
Day 2 Started
The 2024 Wynn Millions Poker Series in Las Vegas is coming to an end, but there's still Day 2 of the $1,600 Mystery Bounty left to play out inside the luxurious Wynn Las Vegas.
There are 157 players returning on Day 2 out of a field of 1,272 in an event that created a $1,831,680 prize pool. Players will return to blind levels of 4,000/8,000/8,000, and leading the way is Kai Cohen with a stock of 1,020,000.
All players who advanced to Day 2 are in the money and will compete for a piece of the seven-figure prize pool and a chance to pull a big bounty. Each player on Day 2 is considered a "Mystery Bounty," and those who eliminate a player will earn a voucher for a Mystery Bounty Prize.
There are two $100,000 bounties up for grabs, as well as two $50,000 bounties. Other big bounties include four $25,000 bounties and five $10,000 bounties.

Cards are in the air and action is underway in Day 2 of the Wynn Millions Mystery Bounty.
Landon Tice's summer crossbook with Jeremy Becker may not yet be underway, but the "child of the sim" is already heating up. On Wednesday, Tice took down a 2024 Wynn Millions Poker Series $400 buy-in event for $32,025 and his first Wynn trophy.
The victory for Tice, who topped a 512-player field after coming into Day 2 with 20 big blinds, shows that he means business in his upcoming high-stakes bet with Becker, which was set up by Daniel Negreanu and stipulates that both players crossbook 25 mutually played events between May 28 and July 1.
Tice took a bit of a shot at Becker in his winner's photo, giving a yawn while holding up Becker's trademark three-five offsuit.
But Tice has some catching up to do. The victory marked his first live victory since November 2020, when he took down the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Venetian $1,100 Main Event for $201,529. Since then, Becker has won 38 live tournaments, according to The Hendon Mob.
$2,200 6-Max champion Cherish Andrews opened to 16,000 in middle position and Ben Luber defended out of the big blind.
Luber checked on the flop of J♥8♦J♦ and Andrews checked back. Luber then bet 20,000 on the 9♣ turn and Andrews called.
Luber checked on the Q♥ river and snap-called as Andrews bet 41,000. Andrews showed A♦2♦ for ace-high and a missed flush draw, while Luber showed Q♣10♠ for a straight.
