Welcome to Day 2c of the $3,500 Wynn Millions Championship at Wynn Las Vegas. Cards go in the air at 12 p.m. for the last in a double header of Day 2 groups.

Rick Biever returns as the chip leader after a Day 1c that drew 560 entries, from which 156 players remain to battle on Day 2c. Close behind Biever is two-time WSOP bracelet winner Yuval Bronshtein. Bronshtein has top finishes in all poker variants, and a deep run would take him over the $3 million mark in lifetime winnings.

Rounding out the top five returning chip counts are Lenard Adams, Jacob Powers, and Ronald Sullivan.

Martin Jacobson raised to 7,500 on the button and Lenard Adams called from the small blind. Sean Winter three-bet to 20,000 in the big blind, leaving just a few chips behind. Jacobson responded with a four-bet to 47,500 which got Adams out of the way and Winter called it off.

Martin Jacobson

Lenard Adams limped in from under the gun and Joshua Faris called from the small blind. Martin Jacobson made it 18,000 from the big blind and only Adams called.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Jacobson continued with a bet of 12,000. Adams snap-called and the {7-Spades} rolled off on the turn. Jacobson checked this time and Adams threw in a bet of 30,000 which Jacobson called.

The river brought the {10-Spades} and Adams attempted to go all-in out of turn. "How much you got left?" He excitedly asked Jacobson. The 2014 WSOP Main Event champion moved all in first for 80,000 and Adams quickly called again.

Jacobson turned over {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for two pair but was no good against the {9-}{8-} of Adams which made a straight.
