Friday's action in the Wynn Millions at Wynn Las Vegas featured two players winning tournaments, and a $500,000 guaranteed tournament getting off to a hot start. There were 296 entrants combinedin the 1a and 1b sessions, and 36 survived. Anthony Danna bagged a massive chip lead, but we'll see if that holds through today's flights.

That six-figure guaranteed event — $600 No-Limit Hold'em — will continue on Saturday with two additional starting flights. Large fields are expected in the tournament that will carry the day in the Wynn Millions series.
