The Wynn Millions has been rolling for two weeks now. Sixteen events are complete out of a total of 50 and $1.6 million in prizes has been doled out.

All that gold has been counted up before the five biggest events of the festival have even kicked off.

These are the five events with guarantees of at least half a million — the $600 NLH, the $1,100 NLH, and the $2,000 NLH events, each with a $500,000 guarantee, plus the $1 million guaranteed $1,600 Mystery Bounty and the $2 million guaranteed $3,000 Championship.

All these events are still to come.

Winning At The Wynn

The winner's checks have been culled from total prize pools of $1,595,867 across sixteen events, with plenty more action to come. There is another another three weeks of poker to play at the Wynn Las Vegas, and there are dozens more tournaments still up for grabs.

The $3,000 Wynn Millions Championship in particular is coming up fast, with the first of three Day 1 flights starting on Thursday, March 6.

This will be followed on subsequent days with Day 1B and C, and a combined Day 2 on Sunday, March 9. Everyone will be hoping to take the event down, walking away with the massive crystal trophy.

In the meantime, the Wynn Millions has attracted players from all over the world with winners from five different countries, including from as far afield as Australia, South Korea, and the UK.

Non-hold'em games in particular are well repped at the Wynn with five of the sixteen completed events being either non-hold'em or mixed game variants.
