Erik Seidel, who recently re-entered the tournament, found himself in an all-in preflop confrontation with Daniel Strelitz, who was at risk for 11,500.

It was a flip and Strelitz was looking to hold to stay alive. That just what he managed to do as the board ran out a clean .
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.
On June 21, he wrote: "Played the Wynn Millions step 1 satellite tonight, got me a seat to step 2 into the $1,100 satty and now have a chance at a $10k seat with a $10 million gtd, all off $200!"
Less than a week later, he did it again: "Wynn millions step sattys, got the first step out of the way the other day and tonight got the second step accomplished! I got a $10k seat off of only $200!! $10 million guarantee prizepool and I think they will shatter that with 3 starting flights. I'm going to play last flight on Sunday at 12pm ... [my] Hendon Mob isn't that great but I have been running deep in a lot of tournaments lately and have been playing well, thanks for all the support in advance!!"
Alberti is busy grinding here on Day 1c, and only time will tell if he's able to take the next step to a Wynn Millions payday!
