How it works

  • Pick three players from our list of WSOP Paradise Event #1 players.
  • Your score is the total amount of prize money your three players win in the event.
  • Bounties are NOT included in your total. 
  • The team with the highest combined cash total wins a $30,000 package to the WSOP Paradise Main Event.

Entry details

  • Entry is free — you must be 21 years of age or older at the time of entry.

  • You must be a registered PokerOrg member to play. It’s free to become an Org member. 
  • You can edit your team at any time until the deadline.

Choosing your team

  • Pick any three players from the official list (we’ll be updating it regularly as more names are confirmed, right up until the deadline).
  • Players are not guaranteed to play - pick at your own risk!
  • There are no budget limits.
  • Each player’s cash in Event #1 will count toward your score.
  • Players who don’t cash score $0.
  • Bounties are not included. 

Live leaderboard

  • As Event #1 progresses, we’ll update a live leaderboard showing real-time team standings.
  • The leaderboard will also show your maximum possible score. 
  • Once a player is eliminated, their final cash (or $0) will be locked in.
  • We’ll be on the floor at WSOP Paradise, bringing you all the major tourmament updates live from the floor. 

Prizes

  • 1st place: A $30,000 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event package
  • 2nd–10th place: PokerOrg merch bags

Tie-breaker

  • In the event of a tie for 1st place, the winner will be determined based on the answer to the tiebreaker question — the closest wins: “What will be the total number of entries in the 2025 WSOP Paradise Event: #1 – $2,500 WSOP Circuit Championship NLH Mystery Bounty?”
  • If winners are still tied, a random draw will decide who gets the package. 

Winner contact & claim rules

  • We will contact the potential winner via the contact info provided (email or phone).
  • The winner will have 24 hours to respond from the time of notification.
  • If we do not receive a response within that window, the prize will be offered to the next eligible team.
  • Any alternate winner will have 3 hours to respond, and failure to respond will result in forfeiture of the prize and selection of the next winner, and so on
  • It is your responsibility to ensure your contact details are accurate and that you can receive messages (including checking spam folders).

Fair play & entry rules

  • One entry per PokerOrg member.
  • Entries suspected of being created by bots or scripts will be disqualified.
  • We reserve the right to verify entries and disqualify any that violate the spirit of the competition.
  • By entering, you agree to allow PokerOrg to use your name, likeness, and team selection for promotional purposes.

Registration closed in Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty

After 12 levels and 984 Day 1C entries, registration is now closed in the $2,750 Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty.

Across three starting flights, a total of 2,396 entries built a prize pool of $5,990,000, nearly breaking the guarantee by $1,000,000.

Just under half of that total will be awarded in mystery bounties starting tomorrow on Day 2.

For now, though, the last 200+ players will be trying to find their way into the final 148 places to claim a $2,600 min-cash, while the final 99 will move on to Day 2.

Here's a look at the leaders and notables trying to find their way into one of those places.

Guarantee reached in Circuit Mystery Bounty

Just before the second break of the day began in the Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty event, the day's 588th entry bought into the tournament, making them the 2,000th of the event, thus reaching the $5,000,000 guarantee.

The gravy train is now rolling with every entry through six more levels of play adding to the prize pool until the registration desk closes at approximately 9:45 p.m. ET.

Leading the contenders through the first six levels of the day is Larry Hirschfield. He's one of four players to have crossed the 200,000 chip mark so far.
