When 1,006 players returned for Day 2 of Event #3: $1,000 Mystery Millions at the 2023 WSOP at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, much of the focus was on the mystery bounty element of the tournament, with two $1,000,000 bounties up for grabs. Through the course of the day's play, the majority of the big bounties were scooped up as Shant Marashlian and Patrick Liang both became millionaires when they pulled the two seven figure scores out of the chest on the main stage.

Now, coming into the third and final day, just 30 players remain from a starting field of 18,188 and all of the attention will be on the $1,000,000 first place prize. Several notables were able to navigate their way to the latter stage of the tournament, including Chris Hunichen (30,200,000), one of the better players yet to win a WSOP bracelet, as well as Dan Shak (14,300,000) who, with a stack of a little over 10 big blinds, will have his work cut out for him.

Day 3 begins today, June 5th at 12 p.m. and will initially take place in the Paris Black section but may be moved to the TV table over at the Horseshoe once the field is down to the final table. Play resumes at the start of Level 38 with blinds of 600,000/1,200,000 with a 1,200,000 big blind ante. Action will then continue until a winner is crowned in this, the largest $1,000 buy in tournament of all time.
