Artem Kobylynskyi Bags Chip Lead In Final Flight of Wynn Millions Main Event

Connor Richards

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The third and final flight of the $3,500 Wynn Millions Championship in Las Vegas wrapped up after ten levels of play and saw Artem Kobylynskyi bagging the chip lead with a stack of 484,500. He will join Day 1a and Day 1b chip leaders Mitchell Halverson and Fikret Kovac on Day 2 on Sunday, March 10 for a chance to cash in one of poker's most popular events.

Also among the 147 players who found bags at the end of Day 1c were Daniel Sepiol, Jordan Spurlin, Jason Wheeler, Jason Dewitt, reigning Mid-Major Player of the Year Nick Pupillo and WSOP Main Event champion Joe McKeehen.

Day 1c Action

Day 1c of the Wynn Millions Championship made for the biggest flight of them all with 541 runners, beating out the 403 entrants on Day 1b and the 236 entrants on Day 1a. That included several new faces, including
Steven "Cuz" Buckner, Benny Glaser, Donnie Peters, Kathy Liebert, Tony Tran and John Morgan, as well as several seeking redemption after failing to bag the previous flights, like Bill Klein, Ryan Laplante, Jonathan Little and Samuel Laskowitz.

Another player back in the mix was Jeremy Becker, whose Day 1b came crumbling down after a failed bluff attempt against Julien Martini. The Wynn daily crusher had better luck this time around and managed to bag a decent stack on his home court.

Other highlights from the day include Mike Vela getting raised with a full house, Mehdi Anooshahr going runner-runner to knock out an opponent, and Bill Klein telling his opponent that nobody liked him.

Mitch Garshofsky also had a better go at things after getting one-outed yesterday in brutal fashion. Day 1c was kinder for the three-time Circuit ring winner as he made it to bagging time.

Day 2 will get underway on Sunday, March 10 at noon local time and action will kick off on Level 11 with blinds of 1,500/2,500/2,500. Levels will stay 60 minutes in duration but are set to increase to 90 minutes starting on Day 3.

There are still several more days left to play out before a winner is crowned on Wednesday, March 13.

Stay tuned as the PokerNews live reporting team will be back on site at Wynn Las Vegas tomorrow for continued coverage of the Wynn Millions Championship.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jeremy Becker was in position in a heads-up pot on a board of A?10?2?3?. His opponent bet on the turn and Becker called.

The 6? river completed the board and the opponent bet 10,000. Becker wasted no time raising all in as his opponent quickly folded to hang on to his remaining stack of around 20,000.

The river raise was more successful than one Becker made yesterday that saw him doubling up Julien Martini with the Wynn assassin now climbing to five times starting stack.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Bill Klein opened in middle position and the big blind called to see a flop heads-up.

The big blind checked on the flop of 8?5?7? and Klein checked back. The big blind checked again on the 10? turn and Klein also checked.

The 7? river completed the board and the big blind let out for 6,500 to the dismay of Klein.

"Boo, nobody likes you!" Klein howled across the table as he folded.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In a three-way pot on a board of K?6?8?4?, Benny Glaser bet 7,200 and only Ari Engel called.

The 9? river completed the board, and Glaser took some time before putting out a stack of pink 5,000 chips to put Engel for his stack of around 28,000. Engel went in the tank for over a minute and folded.

Benny Glaser	160,000 30,000	30,000

Ari Engel	28,000 -2,000	-2,000

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jeremy Becker opened to 1,200 in middle position and got a single caller in the big blind.

The big blind checked on the flop of 8?8?3? and Becker checked back. The big blind checked again on the 3? turn and Becker stabbed with a bet of 2,000. His opponent folded.

The Wynn daily crusher built up a nice stack yesterday on Day 1b but saw it crumble in an unsuccessful bluff attempt against Julien Martini.

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

International Women's Day is the perfect time to honor successful women in any industry, and there are no shortage of successful women in the poker world.

In honor of International Women's Day, here is a look at some of the women who competed in the Wynn Millions Championship Day 1b field.

Cherish Andrews may have been up past 2 a.m. taking down the $2,200 NLH 6-Max Event for $182,927 and her third Wynn trophy, but the 2022 GPI Female Player of the Year wasted no time hopping into the championship event with hopes of another deep run.

Andrews was seated across from Esther Kim, a Las Vegas-based grinder whose first live tournament cash dates back to 2012.

At another table, poker coach and recently published author Lexy Gavin-Mather was seated in the nine-seat just a dealer's chair away from poker socialite Hayley Hanna, the fiance of high-stakes pro David Peters who is currently pregnant with the couple's first child but couldn't resist the Wynn Millions Championship action.

Speaking of poker power couples, Farah Galfond was also in the Day 1b field, while Yi "KitKat" Klassen chipped up nicely a few tables away from Blake Bohn. Meanwhile, four-time GPI Female POY Kristen Foxen had the day off after bagging the Day 1a flight.

A few hours into the day, Women in Poker Hall of Famer Maria Ho took her seat in pursuit of another big score after winning Game of Gold Season 1 for $456,000.

Other women spotted in the Day 1b field include Gloria Jackson, Cindy Li, and Isabel Kou.
