It all comes down to this.
After sifting through a record-shattering 19,654 entries, just 20 players remain in the hunt for the Event #1: $1,000 Mystery Millions bracelet and the $1,000,000 top prize at the 2025 World Series of Poker. Play resumes at 11:00 a.m. at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, where one of them will leave the room as a millionaire and a WSOP champion.
Michael Wilklow leads the way with 82,275,000 chips, closely followed by George Tatalovich (77,625,000) and Linda Ngo (75,575,000), while several seasoned contenders like Daniel Strelitz and Michael Acevedo are still in the mix, all eyeing the gold strap.

With both Tyler Montoya and Thomas Zanot bagging the elusive $1,000,000 bounties early on Day 2, and most of the other major envelopes already claimed, just one significant bounty remains. A $25,000 prize is still in play, but with the payouts now climbing rapidly, will anyone be willing to gamble for it or will laddering take priority as the stakes get higher?
Each player has already locked up a minimum of $39,180, but the biggest mystery of them all will be solved today as someone will win the bracelet, the million, and the glory.
