Josh Reichard Bags Second-Largest Stack on Day 1c of the Mystery Millions
Day 1c of Event #1: $1,000 Mystery Millions here at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was the busiest flight yet, with 2,995 players starting their quest for glory. After 22 levels, only 153 of those players who started with high hopes had survived the night. They bagged up their chips and headed out of the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, knowing they were still in the hunt for a $1 million mystery bounty payout.
Josh Reichard finished second on the night courtesy of bagging and tagging 2,675,000 chips at the close of play. Reichard is still looking for his first WSOP bracelet, although he has 16 WSOP Circuit rings. Could this be the event in which Reichard wins more poker gold?
Brad Laakso finished Day 1c with 3,550,000, which is enough to lead the event overall.
Several bracelet winners and 25K Fantasy Draft picks progressed from this flight. Valentino Konakchiev (2,330,000), Craig Varnell (1,390,000), Brad Ruben (1,340,000), Phil Hui (900,000), and Brock Wilson (190,000) were among them.
Day 1d, the penultimate flight, starts at 10 a.m. local time on Friday, May 30. There should be more than 3,000 players who choose Day 1d to start their quest for glory.
