Day 1a of the Wynn Summer Classic $3,500 NLH Championship, the first of three starting flights, drew to a close after 15-levels and 12 hours of play. Leading the 43 survivors from a total field of 300 is Austrian high roller regular Thomas Muehloecker, sitting on a massive stack of 1,127,000. Closest to catching the runaway chipleader is Dean Geistlinger with 758,000. Steven Veneziano, who bagged 703,000, rounds out the top three.

Several notable were among the players to find a bag for Day 2, including 2021 Wynn Millions champion Andrew Moreno (521,000), WSOP gold bracelet winner Boris Kolev (314,000) and three time bracelet winner Kristen Foxen (283,00), whose husband Alex Foxen is currently making a deep run in WSOP Event #50: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold'em.

There were also several big names who entered the fray but did not emerge out the other side. They include poker commentator Jeff Platt, who made one of the best calls in poker history to no avail, second on the all time live earnings list Justin Bonomo and bracelet winner Andrew Lichtenberger.
