Day 1d, the last starting flight of Event #3: $1,000 Mystery Millions bounty event at the 2023 World Series of Poker, is guaranteed to hold a ton of excitement. The field is expected to be the largest starting fight and ue to the huge demand, the 1 p.m $250 Deepstack and the 3 p.m. $240 satellite have been canceled. Day 1C saw the most entrants so far, 5,147, with 281 bagging their chips for Day 2.
With the all-important mystery bounties kicking in on Sunday's Day 2, players are hoping to build a big stack so they are in a position to acquire bounties in the latter days. Some players have even busted late in earlier flights in order to reenter and try to build a bigger stack for the restart. Two $1,000,000 bounties could be up for grabs, along with a guaranteed $1,000,000 for first place.
Some notable players have bagged for Day 2 such as Koray Aldemir, Martin Jacobson, and Maria Konnikova. Anyone wanting to make a charge at the overall chip lead needs to finish Day 1D with more than 2,750,000 chips, the impressive total Francis Anderson crammed into an overnight chip bag on Day 1A.
Cards will be in the air at 10 a.m. local time and players begin Day 1d with 40,000 chips. Blinds start at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. The levels for all opening flights are 30 minutes, with a 20-minute break at the conclusion of every four levels. Expected around 7 p.m. is a 75-minute dinner break, allowing players to relax for a while before the event resumes. The day consists of 22 levels of play and late registration closes after Level 12.
All survivors will return for Day 2 on June 4th. Players are limited to one reentry per flight, so determined players could fire their last two bullets today.

Action started with a raise from the under-the-gun player, as Ryan Slowik was the only caller in the big blind position.
With the flop of A?K?Q? both players checked to the turn.
Slowik led out for 1,000 as the turn came the J? with his opponent quickly calling behind.
The river of the J? had both players slow down as Slowik revealed his broadway straight. With this win, Slowik slightly chipped up to 42,500.

The river came 10?. Both players checked. Vasudevan turned over A?A?, and his two pair won the pot as his opponent mucked.

The details of this hand were relayed to PokerNews by players at the table. On the very first hand of the day, a player opened to 600 from under the gun and received a single caller in the form of Phil Beck out of the big blind.
Beck checked following the 2?2?A? flop and the initial aggressor continued for an undisclosed amount. That did not dissuade Beck, who made the call.
The turn came J? prompting Beck to check for a second time. His opponent did not slow down, instead firing off what was described as a "medium sized bet". Beck responded by making a small raise, only to see the under-the-gun player respond by reraising. The button clicking did not stop there, with Beck moving the rest of his stack into the middle. He was promptly called and the hands were tabled.
Under-the-Gun Player: A?A?
Phil Beck: 2?2?
Beck had hit a miraculous flop to leave his opponent drawing extremely thin heading to the river. The 10? completed the board, handing Beck a full double to start his tournament while sending his opponent out in cruel fashion.

Three players were in the action when Javier Landa bet out 1,500 in middle position when it was checked to him on the river with a board of 10?9?Q?A?J?.
The player in early position thought for a minute and called with his two pair AxQx.
But Landa held the straight with K?J? and raked in a medium sized pot.
