Day 2c of 2nd annual $10,000 buy-in, $10 million GTD Wynn Millions Main Event is almost underway and will kick off at noon local time as part of 2022 Wynn Millions at Wynn Las Vegas.

Defending champion Andrew Moreno, who took down the 2021 Wynn Millions Main Event for a cool $1.4 million, will be in Day 2c after bagging a stack of 315,000 on the first day of play.
This year's Main Event attracted many of poker's biggest and brightest stars to generate a total prize pool of $10,105,000 off of 1,075 entries. Other players who will be the Day 2c field include Xuan Liu, Joe McKeehen, Cathy Liebert, Matt Berkey, Jake Daniels and Eli Elezra.
