For Day 2 of the Wynn Millions, there is no scheduled dinner break. That's because the field is slated to play only five 90-minute levels, meaning play will wrap around 8:30 p.m. local time giving players the chance to grab a bite to eat after.
A scheduled one-hour dinner break will return for Days 3 & 4 when the plan is for the field to play six 90-minute levels.
The inaugural Wynn Summer Classic has been in full effect this past month, attracting some of poker's best players, and the pinnacle event on the schedule has reached the point of no return. For the past three days, the Wynn Millions has pulled a staggering 1,328 total entries, which generated a $12,483200 prize pool.
A total of 486 players are still in contention from the total entries which meant, the massive remaining field was split into two separate Day 2's with the first 240 players who found a bag during Days 1a and 1b returning for action today at noon.

Kenney holds the chip lead but there're still a lot of play and plenty of big names left in the field which include WSOP bracelet winners James Calderaro (211,500), Jonathan Dokler (157,500), Connor Drinan (142,500), Kenny Huynh (142,500), Eric Baldwin (130,000), and Justin Liberto (114,000), just to name a few.
While the latter sits comfortably, Scott Blumstein (45,000), James Carroll (45,000), Sam Soverel (39,000), Ryan LaPlante (34,000), Adam Friedman (28,000), and Manig Loeser (20,500) all have an uphill battle if they wish to make Day 3.
Day 2ab Schedule
Cards will be in the air at noon local time with action picking up from level 11 where blinds are 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 big blind ante. Blinds will be bumped up to 90-minutes in length for the duration of the tournament.
