Francis Anderson leads the way after Day 1a of Event #3: $1,000 Mystery Millions, amassing a stack of 2,750,000 chips at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
A total of 2,023 entries created an opening day prize pool of $1,800,470. The final 304 players standing received at least a min-cash of $1,062.
Anderson built his stack late in the night when his aces held to climb up the leaderboard. From there, the American pro only added to his stack to lead the remaining 102 players into Day 2. Anderson will be looking to add to his resume, which includes more than $2,000,000 in live cashes.

Fellow Americans Bohdan Slyvinskyi, David Gonia and Dan Colpoys find themselves in the top three stacks as the only players above the 2,000,000 chip mark.
Other notable players bagging at the end of the night include Matt Glantz, Alex Livingston, Daniel Weinman, Maria Konnikova and Ludovic Geilich.
The day began with WNBA star Kelsey Plum kicking off play, and Plum later took her seat in the field, looking to add a WSOP bracelet to her new WNBA Championship ring. Unfortunately, her day did not last long after running into Yong Chen’s full house.
Other notable entries who failed to complete the day included comedian Jim Jefferies, along with Dan Shak, Farah Galfond, Lexy Gavin-Mather, Barry Shulman, Josh Arieh and Vanessa Kade. This list also featured a pair of WSOP Main Event Champions in Ryan Riess and Jamie Gold.
The bubble burst rather quickly late in Level 17, and eliminations were fast and furious afterwards. Players have three more chances to qualify for Day 2, as the final three flights will be played beginning June 1. All remaining players will then combine for Day 2, with the mystery bounties in play and the guaranteed top prize of $1,000,000 at stake.
The PokerNews team will continue to follow the event until the mystery bounties are claimed, and a new champion is crowned.
