Serock and Land Win Big at Wynn Millions
The Wynn Millions, running from February 16 through March 22, is now in full swing. On Monday, February 23, two more champions were crowned: Joseph Serock took down the $10,500 NLH PKO, while Matthew Land secured a six-figure score in the $600 NLH event.
Meanwhile, the $2,200 event bagged for Day 2 with a stacked field returning, led by five-time WSOP bracelet winner Calvin Anderson atop the chip counts.
Serock Tops Star Studded Field
The $10,500 NLH PKO Bounty event drew a modest field of 19 players, but it featured some of the best high-stakes talent in the game. Notable names who failed to cash — but still collected bounties — included Anatoly Nikitin ($2,000), Jeremy Becker ($2,000), João Simão ($7,000), Sam Soverel ($5,000), and Alex Foxen ($6,000).
With just 19 entries, only three players made the money. Joseph Serock ultimately claimed the title, with Dylan Linde being eliminated in third place, before Serock defeated Neil Warren heads-up to secure the victory.

Matthew "Chase" Land Achieves New High Score
In the $600 NLH $500,000 Guaranteed event, the massive field of 1,286 entries smashed the guarantee and created a $655,860 prize pool. When the dust settled, Matthew Land emerged as the champion, topping the stacked field to earn $104,654 — the biggest score of his career. Runner-up Phat Nuon took home $71,490, with Marios Savvides finishing third for $54,755.
