Butcher Bags Chip Lead as Wynn Millions $1,100 Event Heads to Final Starting Flight
The first two starting flights of the $1,100 NLH $400K GTD at the Wynn Millions are in the books, with 34 players advancing from a combined field of 274 entries.
Leading the way into Day 2 is Bradley Butcher, who bagged 894,000 chips. He is followed by Daniel Cao with 786,000 and Benjamin Palmer with 693,000, while Fabian Gumz and Jessica Vierling round out the top five stacks.
Landon Tice dusted himself off after a set-over-set beat in the 2026 PokerGO Cup and also managed to bag a healthy stack.
The event has generated a prize pool of $264,410 so far, with the final starting flight still to come. Day 1c begins at 12 p.m. local time and will provide the last chance for players to advance to Day 2.
While the event still needs a solid turnout to reach its $400,000 guarantee, the target remains firmly within reach.
All surviving players will return for Day 2 on Thursday, where the tournament will play down to a winner.
