Day three of the 2025 WSOP Paradise saw the final flight of the WSOP Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty, and a second bracelet of the festival was awarded in the rapid-fire $50,000 High Roller Turbo.
Meanwhile, the $100,000 Triton PLO Main Event looks set for a massive heads-up battle, with over $2.5 million awaiting the winner.
Rezaei Denies Kanit in $50k High Roller Turbo
The sole one-day event on the schedule, Event #4: $50,000 NLH High Roller Turbo, crowned a champion in just 12 hours after Daniel Rezaei powered through a 151-entry field to secure his first career WSOP bracelet and a huge $1,900,000 payday.
The turbo event saw quick exits, with Dan Shak bubbling the $114,000 min-cash, while Triton co-founder Paul Phua made a deep run for his first WSOP final table since 2022, but ultimately fell in third place.
Runner-up Mustapha Kanit was also looking for a maiden bracelet victory, but he was denied heads-up as Rezaei took home the title.

$100k Triton PLO Main Event Down to Two Contenders
The highly-anticipated $100,000 Triton PLO Main Event played down to its final two, concluding the night with Sam Soverel holding a commanding 4:1 chip lead over Andras Nemeth, as they prepare to battle for the massive $2,594,000 first-place prize.
The PLO event provided drama throughout the day when Daniel Negreanu survived a crucial bubble situation, doubling through Phil Ivey just as Ben Tollerene was eliminated.
A truncated day saw Ivey just miss out on the final table, as a hard-fought battle ended with Dan Dvoress falling in third place in the small hours of the morning, setting the stage for Soverel and Nemeth to return to the felt today to determine the winner.
