2022 Wynn Millions
The remaining 113 players are now on a 10-minute break.
With Jake Schindler's recent elimination in 117th place, the tournament is officially in the money. Each of the remaining players is guaranteed at least $22,029. The next pay jump will take place at #107 ($23,091). Of course, everyone left in the field is in search of the $1,655,955 first place prize.
Andrew Moreno, the defending champion, is still standing.
Shannon Shorr opened from under the gun to 12,000. Jake Schindler, directly to his left, three-bet to 60,000, leaving just 62,000 behind.
Action folded to David Lambard in the small blind, who four-bet to 123,000, enough to cover Schindler. Shorr folded, and Schindler snap-called with the bubble looming. The tournament was in hand-for-hand play and two other eliminations took place before the tournament director came over to the table to permit the dealer to run the hand.

Imsirovic, not far removed from winning a Wynn Millions High Roller, was ahead with aces but Moran had a pair with a flush draw.
The dealer burned and turned the
, which completed the flush draw and left Imsirovic drawing dead. The meaningless
