Cards are now in the air for Day 3 of the Wynn Millions Championship. Play starts in Level 21 with blinds at 15,000/25,000/25,000.
Martin Zamani, who bagged 2,700,000 as the Day 2 chip leader, has issued a correction to 2,600,000 due to a miscount. It didn't matter much after an early three-handed pot.
A big pot had formed in the middle with over 200,000 and the board showed 8♦3♦J♥. Zamani fired 100,000 to quick folds from Abbas Heidari and Michel Molenaar to take the pot.
On a nearby table, Action was heads up with over 200,000 in the pot and Q♦4♣K♠7♠ when Rick Green check-called a bet of 115,000 from Shawn Daniels to his left. Both players checked the 6♦ river and Daniels turned over K♣10♣ to beat Green's J♠10♥.
Meanwhile, Ken Einiger and Nicholas Seward have been eliminated in the early going.

Tom Dwan, who spoke with PokerNews on Friday and then again on Sunday, is back on X after being locked out of his account, and he's firing back at those who have accused him of failing to make whole unpaid debts.
The poker legend who once ruled the Full Tilt Poker streets under the screen name "durrrr," had some choice words for Haralabos Voulgaris and Peter Jetten. But one player owes money to, Dan "Jungleman" Cates, stood up for him in a surprisingly cordial tweet.
Amidst all the bickering on social media, Dwan also made the news Friday when he signed as an a new ambassador of an unregulated poker site, a site that many poker players have reported has a never-ending bot problem.
Check out the 45-minutes interview Dwan gave to PokerNews' Chad Holloway on Sunday night:
Steven Jones raised to 55,000 and Shawn Daniels shoved around 400,000. Jones called and the cards were turned up.
Shawn Daniels: Q♣8♣
Steven Jones: A♣10♣
The board ran out 7♣10♦Q♠J♣5♣ and Jones made the better flush on the river to catch up to Daniels and eliminate him from the tournament.
