Wynn Millions Championship Kicks Off Today at Noon Vegas Time
One of the most exciting poker tournaments of the year kicks off today with Day 1a of the $3,500 buy-in Wynn Millions Championship, the marquee event of the 2024 Wynn Millions Poker Series in Las Vegas.
The Wynn Millions Championship boasts a $3 million guarantee and will no doubt draw many of the best poker players from around the world.
The tournament offers three starting flights, the first of which gets underway today at noon local time. Players will start with a stack of 40,000 chips and blinds of 100/200/200. All Day 1 flights will play ten 60-minute levels with an hourlong dinner break scheduled after Level 6 (around 6:30 p.m.).
The event is scheduled to play for five days, with the final table taking place on Wednesday, March 13 at noon. On Day 3, the level length will increase to 90 minutes.
The Wynn Millions Championship has a short but storied history with past winners including Andrew Moreno, Tony Sinishtaj and reigning champion Michael Rossitto.
PokerNews will be on-site at Wynn Las Vegas to provide live coverage of the Wynn Million Championship and will be covering the $1.5 million guaranteed Mystery Bounty later in the series.

NLH 6 Max Day 2 Update: Shorr, Andrews & Rossitto Still Alive
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
There is another tournament playing out at Wynn Las Vegas right now, and that is the $2,200 buy-in NLH 6 Max event that drew 468 runners across two flights.
Day 2 of the $500,000 guaranteed event kicked off at noon and currently features an array of poker names, including Shannon Shorr, Joao Simao, Andres Korn, Victoria Livschitz, Frank Lagodich, poker coach Jonathan Little, WSOP Main Event champion Joe McKeehen, 2022 GPI Female Player of the Year Cherish Andrews, WSOP NV/NJ POY Mike Holtz and 2023 POY Bin Weng.
Another player in the field is reigning Wynn Milions champion Michael Rossitto, who last year topped a field of 1,314 runners in the Main Event to win $604,637. Should his 6-Max run end, don't be surprised to see him hop into the Championship event to defend his title.
With 45 players remaining, the event will play down to a winner today inside Wynn Las Vegas, who will walk away with the trophy and top prize of $182,927.

Konnikova Flops the Nuts, Josephy Rivers Queens Full
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
The cooler of all coolers took place at a table in the back of the Wynn tournament area as Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy found himself all in and at risk against acclaimed author Maria Konnikova.
Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy: Q♠Q♥ 
Maria Konnikova: A♣K♣
The flop of Q♣4♣6♣ hit both players hard as Konnikova flopped the nut flush to be in front of Josephy's set of queens. The 2♠ turn didn't change anything, but a second deuce in the form of the 2♣ on the river gave Josephy a full house to put a devastating beat on the Biggest Bluff author.
"It was all going in on that flop, anyway," Konnikova said after losing most of her stack.
