$3,500 Championship
Day 1b Started
Day 1b of the $3,500 buy-in Wynn Millions Championship as part of the 2024 Wynn Millions Poker Series in Las Vegas kicks off today and, like the first starting flight, should attract no shortage of poker notables.
Day 1b of the Wynn Millions Championship, which gets underway today at noon local time, will see players 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.
Inaugural Wynn Millions champion Andrew Moreno will likely make an appearance after busting on Day 1a, while regning champion Michael Rossitto found a bag and will rest up ahead of Day 2. Meanwhile, no sign yet of 2022 champion Tony Sinishtaj.
The field may also include 2022 GPI Female Player of the Year Cherish Andrews, who last night took down the multi-day $2,200 NLH 6-Max event for $182,927.
Stay tuned as PokerNews will be on-site at Wynn Las Vegas today to provide live coverage of Day 1b of the Wynn Millions Championship.

In a heads-up pot on a flop of 10♥2♠A♣, Blake Bohn checked in middle position and Dan Goepel bet 600 on the button. Bohn called.
Bohn checked again on the 10♣ turn and Goepel checked back. Bohn checked once more on the J♣ river and Goepel fired a bet of 2,100. Bohn called.
Goepel tabled A♥10♦ for tens full of aces as Bohn showed a no good pair of aces with A♠Q♦.
"I only lost THAT much? I check-call, check, check-call?" Bohn commented about his cautious play against the fellow midwesterner and MSPT champion.
"You play very good, Blake," said Goepel.
