Day 1b of Event #1: $1,000 Mystery Millions here at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas has concluded, with the 1,833 entrants whittled to only 83 over the course of 22 30-minute levels. Veerachai Vongxaiburana bagged up a flight-leading 2,975,000 chips, but a certain Jason Dewitt was also fast out of the blocks, finishing with 2,000,000.
Dewitt is a two-time bracelet winner. He won his first bracelet in 2010 and number two six years later; the latter saw him take down the $1,500 Millionaire Maker. Although there's a lot of poker to be played in this event, Dewitt has done his chances of capturing a third bracelet no harm at all.

In the 892nd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England talk about the counterfeit poker chips that were discovered at a Texas cardroom, a home game robbery in Hawaii, and a huge laydown in a $2.4 million cash game pot from Triton Poker.
Speaking of, Xuan Liu became the first woman to claim a Triton title, while Jesse Lonis and Alex Foxen also won Triton tournaments. Speaking of big winners, Kevin Li took down the 2025 WSOP Tournament of Champions, Stephen Song was victorious on The Lord Poker Tour for $750K, and both Corey Wick and Josh Freund claimed big mid-major wins.
The crew then discusses Alan Keating's NBA adventure that involved busting Steph Curry and winning a bracelet; the return of the PokerStars Big Game; and how Mike avoided a deadly shooting at his Las Vegas gym thanks to his friend, Jeff Madsen.
