Billy Tarango raised to 900,000 in middle position, calling when Paulo Drummond put in 3,000,000 from the small blind.
Tarango's remaining 3,550,000 chips were put in on the 9♦A♠K♣ flop, and the cards were tabled.
Billy Tarango: A♣J♣5♠3♠
Paulo Drummond: A♥K♥Q♦J♦
Drummond had a big lead with top two pair, and made a full house on the A♦ turn to secure the pot. The 3♣ river was rendered meaningless as Tarango headed to the rail.
Quan Tran opened the action with a raise to 700,000 from early position, and when it folded around to Samuel Roussy-Majeau in the cutoff, he responded with a three-bet to 2,550,000. Tran made the call, and the two went heads-up to a flop of 4♠2♥5♦.
Tran checked, and Roussy-Majeau fired out a pot-sized bet. That was all the encouragement Tran needed to rip it in, and Roussy-Majeau quickly called.
Samuel Roussy-Majeau: K♦K♠9x7♠
Quan Tran: Q♦A♦J♥3♦
Tran had flopped the wheel, and the 5♣ turn and\9♣ river didn’t change a thing. Just like that, Tran raked in the pot while Roussy-Majeau’s run came to an end.
Christoph Milbradt raised to 600,000 in the hijack and called when Andrew Yee made it 2,100,000 to go in the small blind. Yee pushed in his remaining 3,600,000 on the 10♠Q♠J♣ flop, which Milbradt snap-called.
Andrew Yee: A♣Q♦J♠10♦
Christoph Milbradt: 10♣9♠8♣7♥
"Aw, you called with that straight?" a disappointed Yee said. "Give me a king," he then requested the dealer.
The deck did not comply, however, as the 6♦ turn and 7♣ river completed the board, sending Yee to the rail only a few minutes into Day 3.
Following another surge in entries at the 2025 World Series of Poker, it will take an extra day to determine a champion in Event #86: $1,000 Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha.
The final 29 contenders return at noon local time to Paris and Horseshoe, Las Vegas, ready to finally play down to a winner and hand out the top prize of $329,890. The event saw a staggering 5,284 entries, creating a regular prize pool of $3,064,720 to go along with the mystery bounty prizes.
After two days of action, Quan Tran leads the way, bagging nearly 70 big blinds for the final day. He's followed by a pair of Brazilians, starting with Paulo Drummond in second place. Rounding out the top three is Carlos De Lima, one of four players returning with more than 10 million chips.

The top three mystery bounties were taken off the board on Day 2, leaving a single $10,000 prize as the largest of the 31 bounties remaining to be claimed.
All of the 29 contenders have locked up at least $10,940, with a pay jump waiting after three more eliminations. Seats were redrawn for the start of play, and players will get new seat assignments once the tournament reaches the final three tables.
