Clayton Maguire Leads; Moreno, Lewis and Yaginuma Contest as Wynn Millions Plays Down to Final Table
It is time for Day 5 of the$10,000 buy-in, $10,000,000 GTD Wynn Millions which will begin at noon local rime.
Yesterday the field was whittled down from 61 to 18 at a very surprising fast pace, meaning today’s action will feature deeper play as 14 of the remaining 18 players have a chip stack of between 40 and 100 big blinds meaning there is much to be determined today, as the pay jumps become very significant. The first player eliminated today in 18th will take home $97,271, and then it will jump to $111,671 for 17th and 16th, 15th-14th ( $128,645), 13th-12th ($148,456) and 11th-10th ($172,654). Meaning players can nearly double their winnings just by making it through today.

Making it through today is much easier said than done though as the remaining field is full of poker crushers. Including the chip leader Clayton Maguire who has a stack of 4.93 million (99 big blinds). His top career poker score thus far is a $368,159 win twelve years ago in EPT Monte Carlo, meaning anything 5th or better here would make for his largest career score.
Taking the felt today aiming for the $2,018,866 first-place prize are Salim Admon (4.575 million), Philip Shing (4.32 million), Dylan Smith (4.14 million), and Julian Milliard (3.865 million), who round out the top five. Plus, WSOP bracelets winner Sandeep Pulusani (3.845 million) and Anthony Marquez (825,000), Andrew Moreno (3.255 million), Toby Lewis (2.665 million), and WPT champ Ilyas Muradi (2.3 million).
The remaining 18 players will combat today all the way down to a final table, where play will be stopped for the final 9 who will then return to play down to the title on Saturday July 3 at noon local time.
PokerNews will have all the coverage today, as 18 will become 9 for the Wynn Millions final table.
