Seat 3: Lion Yiming Lee (2,695,000)

Lion Yiming Lee enters the final table as the short stack with 2,650,000.

After hovering around the middle of the chip counts for most of the later days, on Day 5 he came from behind twice in a row and hit fortuitous cards to establish himself at the final table. On both occasions he celebrated boisterously with a couple of people on his rail in an enthusiastic manner, showing that he is very stoked to be competing deep in this prestigious tournament.

Hailing from Milpitas, California, this run in the Wynn Millions is by far Lee’s largest tournament poker accomplishment thus far as his largest score prior was $49,165 in April of this year in the $3,500 Seminole Hard Rock WPT Main Event.

Outside of that event he has a few smaller cashes to add up to $107,512 in total career poker earnings according to The Hendon Mob.

Seat 4: Jaime Cervantes (7,570,000)

Jamie Cervantes enters the final table with a chip count of 7,570,000, which is fourth at the table. At one point on Day 5, Cervantes owned a massive chip lead, holding close to 20% of the chips in play with 17 players remaining after he made the first elimination of the day in a massive pot.

According to The Hendon Mob, Cervantes has scant live tournament experience with only two registered cashes, totaling $9,204 both coming from 2021. The native of Vancouver, Washington does however have a $29,779 cash from the 2020 WSOP.com Main Event where he finished in 36th place, proving his poker chops through the online world.

He has already made a big splash on the live poker scene by making the final table of this massive event and he will be looking to finish off his run in incredible style.

Seat 5: Philip Shing (2,740,000)

Philip Shing will be the second shortest stack at the start of the final table with 2,740,000 in chips.

He had a large stack toward the top of the counts toward the end of Day 4 and had roller coaster Day 5, going from low to high a few times before settling amongst the final nine.

Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Shing is an experienced player who has won two WSOP Circuit Rings in his career, one for $14,543 in Foxwoods in 2015 and a large one in February 2020 for $151,284 in the Potawatomi Casino $1,700 Main Event.

That ring is not his largest career cash however as boasts a $168,990 score for coming in sixth in the $3,500 WPT Seminole Hard Rock event in Hollywood, Florida in January of this year. This tournament will add quite a score to his career total winnings of $482,611 according to The Hendon Mob.

Seat 6: Clayton Maguire (11,925,000)

Clayton Maguire bagged the chip lead after Day 4, and while he dropped it for a bit on Day 5, he ultimately regained it by the end of the night to enter the final table as the big stack with 11,925,000, which is more than three million more than the closest competition.

According to The Hendon Mob, Maguire has $1,489,246 in lifetime earnings including a career-best $368,159 for winning a 2009 EPT Monte Carlo €5,250 Six-Handed event. A year later, he won the 2010 Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza III $2,100 NLH for $222,838.

Maguire is also a World Series of Poker bracelet winner after he took down the 2016 WSOP Event #66: $1,000 NLH WSOP.com Online for $210,279. It marked the WSOP’s second-ever online bracelet event.

Other big scores on Maguire’s poker résumé include 44th in the 2014 WSOP Main Event for $186,388, first in a 2013 WPT Five Diamond $5K side event for $159,563, and 13th in last year’s 2020 WSOP $10,000 Domestic Main Event for $62,266.

As the big stack, Maguire is in great shape to earn a new career-high score if he can finish fifth or better. If things go really well, he may even be able to notch the first seven-figure score of his burdgeoning career.

Julian Milliard-Feral will begin the Wynn Millions final table with a chip count of 8,350,000, which is good for second place in the counts. He began to up his stack toward the end of Day 5 and capped it off by eliminating Santiago Soriano to pop the final table bubble and bring the field down to the final nine.

Milliard-Feral is originally from France but is now listed as living in Miami, Florida. He has only seven cashes registered to his name on The Hendon Mob, spread across the globe from Canada, Cyprus, Spain, and the USA, totaling $80,721.

His largest cash prior to this was for $38,240 for coming in 334th in the WSOP Main Event in 2019, meaning that after this event his two largest cashes will have come in $10,000 buy-in events.

Seat 8: Andrew Moreno (2,825,000)

When it comes to momentum, Andrew Moreno has it.

In May, he finished sixth in the MSPT Sycuan Casino in San Diego for $20,281, and then placed 22nd in June’s MSPT Venetian $1,600 Main Event for $18,627. Just four days later, he broke through with a win when he took down the Venetian DeepSTack Championship Poker Series Event #58: $1,100 UltimateStack for $127,740, the fourth-largest score of his career.

In 2015, he finished 28th in the WSOP Main Event for $211,821, and a year later took sixth in the 2016 WSOP Event #41: $1,500 Monster Stack for a current career-high $219,632. In March 2019, Moreno came close to WSOP gold again when he finished runner-up to Sean Yu in the WSOP Circuit Bicycle Casino $1,700 Main Event for $130,295.

All told, Moreno has $1,056,155 in lifetime earnings according to The Hendon Mob.

Just before the Wynn Millions began, Moreno posted the following on social media:

“In April I decided to I wanted to really focus on playing and studying live poker tournaments. I created two main goals for myself. The first was to move my career earnings to over $1million dollars. I accomplished that with my most recent win at the venetian $1,100 buy in where I bested a field of 637 players and took home $127,740.

“The second goal I have this year is to get that illusive 7 figure cash I’ve been chasing. To help me accomplish this I secured a tournament coach (wishes to remain nameless) that I am very excited about working with. A special thank you to Kristy Moreno. We’re such a great team together. I’m beyond grateful to share in parenthood with you. See you soon little man. Oh, and by the way, you’ve already cashed in a tournament and been in a winners photo with your parents. So please remember we are cool when you’re a teenager.”

Moreno is very close to checking off his second goal and only time will tell if he’s able to do it in the Wynn Millions.

Seat 9: Salim Admon (7,720,000)

Salim Admon enters the final table third in chips with 7,720,000. He had a very solid Day 5 in which he was a mainstay among the top counts and never dropped very far, always keeping an upward trajectory.

Admon hails from Sherman Oaks, California, and often rocks a black LA Dodgers hat while on the felt. He has amassed career poker earnings of $304,509 and a top four score could more than double that count.

His largest success in his playing career thus far was a $219,699 prize for his second-place finish in the November MSPT $1,500 event at the Venetian. That accounts for about two-thirds of his career total earnings. Admon also boasts a notable cash from the 2017 WSOP Main Event when he finished in 513th place for $24,867.
