Extra Day Needed in $1,000 Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha
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.
