The Wynn Millions, running from February 16 through March 22, is now in full swing. On Monday, February 23, two more champions were crowned: Joseph Serock took down the $10,500 NLH PKO, while Matthew Land secured a six-figure score in the $600 NLH event.
Meanwhile, the $2,200 event bagged for Day 2 with a stacked field returning, led by five-time WSOP bracelet winner Calvin Anderson atop the chip counts.
Serock Tops Star Studded Field
The $10,500 NLH PKO Bounty event drew a modest field of 19 players, but it featured some of the best high-stakes talent in the game. Notable names who failed to cash — but still collected bounties — included Anatoly Nikitin ($2,000), Jeremy Becker ($2,000), João Simão ($7,000), Sam Soverel ($5,000), and Alex Foxen ($6,000).
With just 19 entries, only three players made the money. Joseph Serock ultimately claimed the title, with Dylan Linde being eliminated in third place, before Serock defeated Neil Warren heads-up to secure the victory.

Matthew "Chase" Land Achieves New High Score
In the $600 NLH $500,000 Guaranteed event, the massive field of 1,286 entries smashed the guarantee and created a $655,860 prize pool.
