Welcome to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2025 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
Day 1b of Event #1: $1,000 Mystery Millions No-Limit Hold'em kicks off at 10:00 a.m. local time here at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. Live coverage of this event will start from Day 2.
Tournament officials have confirmed that once again, the top bounty and the first-place prize are guaranteed to be $1,000,000.
There will be 20-minute breaks every four levels, with a 75-minute dinner break at the end of Level 12 (~6:40 p.m.). Players are allowed one reentry per flight. The starting stack is 40,000 chips, with the plan for Day 1b to play 22 30-minute levels. Payouts start on Day 1, and for the surviving players, Day 2 resumes on Sunday, June 1, at 11 a.m.
Day 1a saw 1,329 players enter, but only 70 survived long enough to bag and tag their chips. Konstantin Held bagged the chip lead with 2,480,000 chips, with five-time WSOP bracelet winner Brian Yoon (2,410,000) just a couple of big blinds behind.
