The Wynn Millions Poker Series, Feb 21 to Include a $10,000,000 GTD Tournament

The Wynn Millions series, which runs from February 21st to March 20th, will be one of the most important non-World Series of Poker (WSOP) tournaments in Las Vegas poker history. The Wynn Las Vegas poker room would hold a $10 million assured tournament starting March 3 for the 2nd time in less than one year. Wynn Las Vegas, also known as Wynn, is a premium hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, USA. Wynn Las Vegas, as well as its sister property Encore Las Vegas, have received the most Forbes five-star accolades of any resort and casino in the world. The structure is the first high-rise to include an automated window washing technology. The resort has been selected to the Condé Nast Traveller Gold List as being one of the “World’s Top Hotels.”

This $10 million GTD Tournament has not, however, been the only tournament in the league to exceed $1 million in prize money. In reality, two other events at Wynn Millions will exceed seven figures, and a 3rd ($1,100 No-Limit Hold’em) would ensure at least $500,000.

This features the revival of the famous and one-of-a-kind Mystery Bounty, the 1,600 dollars buy-in no-limit hold ‘em event with a surprising bounty tucked within an envelope after smashing another player. The competition starts on February 24th and promises a net prize pool of at least 1.5 million dollars.

The Wynn Millions winter poker series includes sixteen tournaments totaling over $15 million in winnings. There is an event for almost every style of a poker player – no-limit hold’em, high stakes, mid-stakes, pot-limit Omaha, bounty events, and so on. There are also 2 seniors events — $400 & $1,100 — for participants aged 50 & up. Andrew Moreno sought out this last summer to improve his competition skills. He’d go through to deliver an event at the Venetian in Las Vegas worth $127,740 days later and had been reaping the benefits of his efforts.

In less than a month, the San Diego native scooped an even greater tournament – the 1st-ever 10,000 dollars buy-in Wynn Millions $10 million guaranteed. He won $1,406,106 after defeating a vast field of 1,328 competitors. With approximately 12.5 million dollars in the pot, the historical event surpassed their lofty guarantee.

The 2021 Wynn Millions left a fantastic impact on the poker industry, and they are very enthusiastic about building this event for many coming years. This event is a good experience because of the huge range of players and individuals from across the globe who compete against each other.
