Jarod Minghini Eliminated in 9th Place ($7,198)

Level 20 (10,000/15,000/15,000) - No-Limit Hold'em

In one of the last hands of the level, Jarod Minghini was all in preflop and racing for his tournament life against Maziar Keshavarzi.

Jarod Minghini: {a-}{k-}
Maziar Keshavarzi: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Minghini had the two overs and was looking to improve, but unfortunately that proved easier said than done as the board ran out dry to make him the first casualty of the final table.

Honoring Maxwell "Yahtzee" Young!

At one of the two remaining tables, a trio of friends and oftentimes poker traveling roommates are competing against one another.

Scott Stewart, Jarod Minghini, and Vincent Moscati are enjoying the experience of battling one another, but there is one player missing from their quartet in MSPT champ and six-time WSOP Circuit ring winner Maxwell Young. However, he is in the tournament in one sort — on Moscati's t-shirt.

On the last break, Moscati, Stewart, and Minghini gathered for a photo profiling the shirt, which was created by Young's girlfriend and gifted to each of the guys during his birthday party down in Mexico earlier this year.

Apparently, the story behind it involves Young's proclivity to tank while playing online games of Yahtzee on his iPad. The group of friends often drink, play, and bet money on it, and as Stewart explained, "Young takes forever for every move."

Schutten Claims Final High Roller Tournament of 2022 Wynn Millions

Brekstyn Schutten
Brekstyn Schutten

On Wednesday, after busting just short of the money in the $10 million guaranteed Wynn Millions Main Event, Brekstyn Schutten shipped Event #5 in the Wynn High Roller series. He defeated a field of 43 entrants en route to victory in the $15,000 buy-in tournament.

The ICU nurse from Michigan had a tough uphill battle to overcome at the final table. He entered just fourth in chips out of seven players. But he dominated play throughout and came out victorious.

Dragana Lim, the last woman standing in the 2021 WSOP Main Event, took seventh place for $25,800. Dan Smith, one of the best players ever to have never won a WSOP title, went out in sixth place ($38,700). PokerGO founder Cary Katz ended up in fourth place ($70,950), and Schutten dusted off Stanley Tang ($141,900) heads-up to win the tournament.

Eric Wigg Bubbles in 21st Place

Eric Wigg

Level 17 (4,000/8,000/8,000)

It took about an hour to lose the first player on Day 2, and that's because players were playing pretty snug on the money bubble.

Ultimately it was Eric Wigg, who began the day as the short stack, who fell in a hand of pot-limit Omaha (PLO) after getting his short stack in with {a-}{k-}{7-}{7-} against three callers. Jarod Minghini was one of them and flopped the nuts holding {10-}{9-}{8-}{7-} on a flop of {6-}{9-}{10-}.

Minghini wound up winning the pot and Wigg left empty-handed in 21st place.
