The first bounty event of the 2023 World Series of Poker begins at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas with Event #3: $1,000 Mystery Millions.
A large field is expected across four opening flights, as the event continues to grow after last year’s field of 14,112 players created a total prize pool of $12,559,680. Quincy Borland outlasted the field last year to claim the first-place prize of $750,120 to go with the coveted World Series of Poker bracelet. This year, first place will be guaranteed $1,000,000!
The biggest winner of last year’s event was Matt Glantz, who opened the $1,000,000 bounty in addition to earning $20,730 for his 42nd place finish. Multiple million-dollar bounties could be in play this year, with all players surviving into Day 2 eligible for the mystery prizes.
Cards will be in the air at 10 a.m. local time and players begin Day 1a with 40,000 chips. Blinds start at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante and levels for all opening flights are 30 minutes, with a 20-minute break at the conclusion of every 4 levels. A 75-minute dinner break is also on the schedule, expected to be around 7:00 p.m. The day consists of 22 levels of play and late registration closes after Level 12.
Three more starting flights will follow the same format on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, with all survivors returning for Day 2 on Sunday, June 4th. Players are limited to one reentry per flight, but that means a determined bounty hunter could fire as many as eight bullets in this event.
Be sure to stay tuned to PokerNews for full coverage of this exciting event as we begin the road to the lucky million-dollar bounties and crowning another champion at the World Series Of Poker.

After seeing an early position call and raise to 800, Vincente Enciso three-bet to 3,200 from the cutoff. The action folded back around to the original raiser, who made the call to the A?9?5? flop.
Both players checked through to the 6? turn, when the player in early position continued for 4,300. Enciso quickly tossed out a raise to 15,000, inducing a fold to take down a nice pot.

Jamie Gold has built a healthy stack early in the tournament. He was under the gun against an opponent in the cutoff to the 9?7?6? flop.
Gold bet 600 stating, "Well, I have to bet, the cameras are here."
The cutoff reraised to 2,000, Gold reraised to 5,200 and the cutoff raised all in. Gold snap-called with a flush, showing K?5? while the cutoff held 8?5? for a flopped straight with straight flush redraw.
The cutoff failed to complete his straight flush and Gold chipped up while scoring the early knockout.
