Day 1b of the 2nd annual $10,000 buy-in, $10 million GTD Wynn Millions Main Event as part of 2022 Wynn Millions at Wynn Las Vegas wrapped up late Friday evening with Jonathan Jaffe leading 90 players with a sizable stack of 382,000.

The second of three starting flights in the Main Event attracted a total of 332 runners, and many of the best players in the world battled it out on the blue felt in the luxurious Wynn tournament area. Combined with the first flight, there have been 531 total entries, and 143 players have bagged so far.

Joao Simao (375,500), Philip Shing (350,000), and Vanessa Kade (345,000) also bagged big stacks.

Elvis Toomas began the day by moving all-in blind in the first hand, thanks to a prop bet. He lost, but re-entered and used those new chips to make it to the end of the day with a bagged stack of 132,000.

Some other notable players who survived the second starting flight include Andrew Lichtenberger (137,000), Jake Schindler (78,500), Daniel Lazrus (264,000), Landon Tice (74,500), Shannon Shorr (103,000), Alex Foxen (115,500), Cary Katz (148,500), and Jake Schwartz (88,000).

Players who weren’t lucky enough to make it to the end of the day include Anthony Zinno, Chance Kornuth, Sean Perry, Joe McKeehen, Tony Dunst, Maria Ho, and defending champion Andrew Moreno, but they will all have one last opportunity in tomorrow’s flight.

Those who bagged on Day 1b will return on March 6 at noon for Day 2ab, which will see them compete against the first two starting flights.

The third and final starting flight of the nine-day tournament will pick up on March 5 at noon. Like the first two flights, Day 1c is expected to attract some of the best and biggest in the game.

PokerNews will be back tomorrow to bring you updates of the Wynn Millions Main Event Day 1c action, so stay tuned.

Remember, there are still three PokerGO Tour High Rollers taking place here at the Wynn Millions, all of which count for the 2022 PGT Leaderboard. There will be $10,500 buy-in High Rollers on both March 6 & 7, as well as a $15,700 High Roller on March 8. Click here to see the current PokerGO Tour Leaderboard.

Lichtenberger Makes Quads and Ousts Opponent

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Andrew Lichtenberger
Andrew Lichtenberger

The hijack player opened to 6,000, Ariel Mantel called the button, and Andrew Lichtenberger defended the big blind.

The flop fell {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Lichtenberger checked, the hijack bet 6,000, Mantel folded, and Lichtenberger raised. The hijack ended up getting his 21,500 chips in and was at risk.

Hijack: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Andrew Lichtenberger: {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

The {8-Clubs} turn changed nothing, and the {4-Diamonds} river improved Lichtenberger to quads, confirming his opponent's elimination.

Ray Teasdale Claims $400 NLH $40K GTD Title

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The 2022 Wynn Millions is a series comprised of 16 events with more than $15 million in guaranteed prize money. There's a tournament for just about any type of poker player — high stakes, mid-stakes, no-limit hold'em, pot-limit Omaha, bounty events, etc. And there are two seniors events for players aged 50 and above — $400 and $1,100.

The second tournament of the series took place back on February 22 with a $400 No-Limit Hold’em $40K GTD, which attracted 261 entries and awarded a $90,045 prize pool to the top 27 finishers.

Among those to cash were Melanie Pittard (24th - $914), Gary Colclough (19th - $1,108), Robert Sherwood (15th - $1,378), Juan Reyes (12th - $1,557), Eric Baldwin (10th - $1,778), David Larson (9th - $2,062), Zach Johns (4th - $6,393), and Rebecca Waiter (3rd - $9,230).

In the end, California’s Ray Teasdale defeated Pennsylvania’s Alfred Gillette in heads-up play to win the tournament for $22,753.

Schwartz Gets Foxen to Fold

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Noah Schwartz
Noah Schwartz

Alex Foxen opened to 3,500 in middle position and saw a flop against Noah Schwartz on the button and the big blind.

The flop came {4-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Foxen bet 3,500 when checked to. Both players called. The turn brought the {q-Diamonds} and the big blind and Foxen both checked, while Schwartz fired a bet of 12,000. Only Foxen called.

Foxen checked again on the {8-Diamonds} river and Schwartz put out a stack of chips to put Foxen all-in for around 20,000.

Foxen shuffled his chips and studied the board as Schwartz ordered a drink and told the table a story involving his ex-wife, another man and the hood of his car.

"I need to work on my speech play," Schwartz told Foxen. "If you hate money, call."

"What about if I'm pretty indifferent?" replied Foxen.

Foxen eventually folded and told Schwartz he laid down ace-king. Schwartz showed him the {4-Diamonds} and told him it was a good fold.
