Jeff Madsen in the Hunt at Wynn Millions Championship Final Table
Jeff Madsen, a four-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner, has his sights set on winning the $397,319 first-place prize in the $3,500 Wynn Millions Championship event.
The $2 million guaranteed no-limit hold'em tournament has reached its final table, and only nine players remain. Action resumes on Tuesday, and the pay jumps are going to be massive, which should create some interesting hands. Stay tuned to PokerNews live reporting and social media throughout the day so you don't miss any of the action.
Madsen has $7.1 million in The Hendon Mob cashes, and that number could significantly rise on Tuesday if he were to go on and win the Championship event. But he'll be facing some tough competition and will be starting with an average stack at 4,205,000 chips, good for around 45 big blinds.
Chahnhoon Jung, who will begin the final table with 9,155,000 chips, has a sizable lead over his nearest competitor, Ernest Bush (6,495,000). After Madsen, who is in fifth place out of nine, there is a significant drop off in chips, with Joseph Spanne in sixth place with 2,010,000. Ryan Tosoc is the smallest stack — 795,000 — with just eight big blinds.
The tournament will play down to a winner on Tuesday, a day earlier than expected.
