The current edition of the $3,500 Wynn Millions Championship saw a total of 694 entries during its initial days, surpassing the two-million-dollar guarantee. Shares of the $2,203,450 prize pool awaited the top 87 players, identified by the end of the second day of play.
The day whittled down 230 players to 87 in the final moments, witnessing two all-ins on separate tables. One spot saw a double-up for the short stack, while on the other, Durbin lost with a pair of Q s Q c and became the official bubble boy of the tournament.

Day 3: Final Table After Just Eight Levels
The third day kicked off with a wave of eliminations – among the early exits were Sam Soverel, Aaron Massey, Jared Jaffee, and David “ODB” Baker.
Chahn Jung gradually became the center of attention—and for a good reason. After finishing 9th last year, he was on an even more impressive run this time, closing the third day with a stack of over 100 blinds heading into the final table. Players took a well-deserved break, with many confident that Jung would overcome last year's bad luck.
Fast Pace and Jung's Misstep
The final table began swiftly with short stacks Ryan Tosoc and Gregory Rankich quickly eliminated. Then came a cold moment: Jung was caught bluffing, sending a large stack of chips to Quang Vu. This significantly changed the table's dynamic—it was no longer dominated by one player.
As the day progressed, Jeff Madsen, Ernest Bush, and Adam Walton headed to the cashier. The stacks and strengths evened out significantly in the final rounds after Alexander Farahi exited in 4th place.
The three-handed play was balanced for a long time until a crucial showdown between Spanne and Jung with pocket pairs. Jung's 9 s 9 d were no match for Spanne's K h K d, giving Spanne the chip lead and a significant psychological edge.
After Vu's elimination in third place, a heads-up battle between Spanne and Jung ensued. The intense hour-long duel saw the lead shift hands several times, but everything was decided on the flop A c 8 d 7 d, where Jung's 9 c 7 s couldn't compete against Spanne's pair of J h J d.
