Day 1b of the $3,500, $3 million GTD Wynn Millions Main Event as part of 2023 Wynn Millions at Wynn Las Vegas wrapped up late Saturday evening with Paul Snead leading 110 players with a sizable stack of 474,000.

The second of three starting flights in the Main Event attracted a total of 412 runners, and many of the best players in the world battled it out on the blue felt in the luxurious Wynn/Encore tournament area. Combined with the first flight, there have been 754 total entries, and 208 players have bagged so far.

Snead, who has over $1.4 million in tournament earnings, per The Hendon Mob, is on a heater that included a victory at the $2,500 Tampa Poker Classic for $198,500 less than a year ago.

Some notable players who survived the second starting flight include Conrad Simpson (184,000), Alex Greenblatt (168,000), Alex Foxen (127,000), Andrew Lichtenberger (77,500), Ethan Yau (75,000) and David Coleman (47,000) to name a few.

Players who weren’t lucky enough to make it to the end of the day include Landon Tice, Johan Schumacher, Jake Daniels,
Kathy Liebert and Robbi Jade Lew who will all have another shot at a deep run with Day 1c tomorrow.

The day kicked off with close to 100 players and action was fast and furious in the early levels. Ren Lin who had fired four bullets on Day 1a was back in action and looking to put his new chips to work.

Lin found himself all in with ace-jack but failed to improve against the pocket tens for Spencer Champlin and was sent to the rebuy desk once again. Luckily for Lin his six bullet did the trick as he managed to climb the leaderboard throughout the rest of the day to bag a top ten stack for Day 2.

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 biggest and best in the game.

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