The final table included fellow Vegas-based players Jay Fredricksen (8th - $12,772) and Aaron Massey (3rd - $48,713), as well as North Carolina's Paul Taylor, who finished runner-up for $63,335.

Frank Pressures Sarle

Matt Hansen

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action was heads up with what looked like over 700,000 in the middle and 8♠Q♦K♦A♠ on the board.

Chris Frank check-called a bet of 640,000 from Dominick Sarle and the turn was J♠.

Frank changed gears and fired 1,400,000, which sent Sarle into the tank. He spread out his time banks and used several before he finally gave up the pot.

Martin Zamani, who was sweating from the other table, encouraged Frank to show a bluff. Frank declined and mucked the winning hand.

Meanwhile, the tournament is playing hand-for-hand on the brink of the final table.

Player	Chips	Progress

Jesse Kandola raised to 900,000 and Daniel Maor called from the next seat over on button.

It didn't matter much and Frank folded before the cards were turned up.

Daniel Maor: A♦10♠

The board ran out 6♥5♣Q♠5♦7♦ and Kandola rivered a straight to stay alive.

Sarle check-called again, this time for 1,200,000, and the river was Q♣.

Both players checked the river and Sarle turned over 10♦10♥ for a set of tens. Kandola tapped the table and tossed the losing hand in the muck.

Becker Beware: Landon Tice Ships Wynn Millions Event for $32,025

Matt Hansen

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Landon Tice's summer crossbook with Jeremy Becker may not yet be underway, but the "child of the sim" is already heating up. On Wednesday, Tice took down a 2024 Wynn Millions Poker Series $400 buy-in event for $32,025 and his first Wynn trophy.

The victory for Tice, who topped a 512-player field after coming into Day 2 with 20 big blinds, shows that he means business in his upcoming high-stakes bet with Becker, which was set up by Daniel Negreanu and stipulates that both players crossbook 25 mutually played events between May 28 and July 1.

Tice took a bit of a shot at Becker in his winner's photo, giving a yawn while holding up Becker's trademark three-five offsuit.

But Tice has some catching up to do. The victory marked his first live victory since November 2020, when he took down the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Venetian $1,100 Main Event for $201,529. Since then, Becker has won 38 live tournaments, according to The Hendon Mob.
