Welcome to the Day 5 Finale of the Wynn Millions Championship
Welcome to Day 5 of the $3,500 Wynn Millions Championship. Cards go in the air at 12 p.m. for the finale of this flagship event.
A total of 1,180 entries turned out and 14 players survived to Day 4, five of which will return today to play for the top prize of $596,067. The tournament built a prize pool of $3,746,500 and all five returning players are guaranteed at least $165,379.
Neel Murthy is the leader with more than half the chips in play after he spun it up from one of the shorter stacks on Day 4. His last run at the Wynn was in the WPT World Championship, where he placed 27th in the December showcase. Murthy has the opportunity to add significantly to his $1.1 million in lifetime earnings with a strong finish today.
He's followed by Chris Frank and Haim Gabay — the other other players over eight million in chips. Jesse Kandola and [Removed:456] round out the final five with the two shorter stacks of just over 25 big blinds.

Tom Dwan Addresses Jetten & Voulgaris Debt Accusations in 45-Minute Interview
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Tom Dwan, who spoke with PokerNews on Friday and then again on Sunday, is back on X after being locked out of his account, and he's firing back at those who have accused him of failing to make whole unpaid debts.
The poker legend who once ruled the Full Tilt Poker streets under the screen name "durrrr," had some choice words for Haralabos Voulgaris and Peter Jetten. But one player owes money to, Dan "Jungleman" Cates, stood up for him in a surprisingly cordial tweet.
Amidst all the bickering on social media, Dwan also made the news Friday when he signed as an a new ambassador of an unregulated poker site, a site that many poker players have reported has a never-ending bot problem.
Check out the 45-minutes interview Dwan gave to PokerNews' Chad Holloway on Sunday night:
Faces From Around the Final Table
A Patient Start
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Jesse Kandola raised to 275,000 from the button and Neel Murthy called from the big blind.
The flop was A♥K♣A♦ and both players checked to see 6♦ on the turn. Murthy checked again and Kandola tossed out 250,000.
That was good enough to take the early pot.
Players are feeling one another out in early action and the chip counts have not changed much.

Jesse Kandola Eliminated in 5th Place ($165,379)
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
With well over 1,000,000 in the middle and 2♣10♠6♥6♣ on the board, Jesse Kandola checked from the small blind before [Removed:456] bet 650,000 from the big blind. Haim Gabay called from the button but Kandola shoved 2,125,000 and sent Martin into the tank.
Martin used three time banks and called before Gabay shrugged and leaned forward. He used two time banks of his own and announced that he was all in with Martin covered.
Martin went into the tank once again and used another time bank before he ultimately got out of the way. Gabay turned over 9♠6♠ for three sixes and Kandola had A♥10♥ for the top pair of tens.
The board finished up with 5♥ and Kandola was out of the tournament in fifth place for $165,379.
