Another pair of exciting Venom tournaments are in the books. That’s right, we just had the Final Tables of our Dual Venom PKO tourneys, with the $5 Million NLH on Wednesday and the $1.5 Million PLO on Tuesday. Both came with a $2,650 buy-in.
Our NLH tourney had a $5 million guarantee, but the final prize pool ($6,245,000) easily exceeded that once again with 2,498 entries across the five Day 1 options. There were 9 players who lined up for the Final Table, with the first two places each guaranteed $378,372 in prize money alone.
Congrats to ‘Rigapols81’ who was the ultimate champ, added a whopping $296,853 in bounties to his total, for a take home of over $675,000.
Here’s the payouts for the Final Table:
- Rigapols81 -> $378,372 + $296,853
- manuelmpc -> $378,372 + $56,299
- Disenchantment -> $276,216 + $46,431
- AceOfSpades33 -> $201,638 + $27,656

- JINLEMON -> $41,798 + $36,645
Our $1.5 Million GTD PLO, which tied for our largest Omaha PKO tournament ever, finished beyond our expectations. There were 641 total entrants which meant the final prize pool reached $1,602,500. Player: PohPohPohPAAAA was the ultimate winner, bringing home $135,789 in prize money and $117,099 in bounties.
