After seven days of play, including five Day 1 options, our Dual Mystery Bounty Venom tournaments are officially in the books. Not only did we crown two new Venom champions on Tuesday, but both of our tournaments exceeded their guarantee.
Congrats to S1NISTRO for winning our $8 Million NLH and Skretcher9 for winning our $2 Million PLO. Keep reading to see how the tournaments played out.
$8 Million NLH Mystery Bounty Venom
The $8 Million NLH Mystery Bounty Venom drew an impressive 3,519 entries despite its $2,650 buy-in. This turnout pushed the final prize pool to $8,797,500, split evenly between the regular prize pool and the bounty prize pool. It’s worth noting that this total exceeds last summer’s $8 Million NLH Mystery Bounty Venom by an impressive $712,500, demonstrating the event’s growing appeal.
The tournament saw 425 players cashing, with even more participants earning bounties throughout the event. One of the most exciting moments came when player MeDicenElComi claimed the top bounty of $500,001, despite finishing 137th overall. This massive mystery bounty win showcases the potential for significant payouts even for players who don’t make it to the final table.
The Mitigator, who finished in 35th place, managed to accumulate an impressive $169,583 in bounties on top of their $10,707 regular prize. ACR Pro Ebony Kenney, playing under the username CINNAMONPARDY, also had a six-figure haul, finishing 108th and earning $154,583 in bounties along with $5,799 in regular prize money.
The final table action culminated in a three-way deal between the top finishers. S1NISTRO emerged victorious, claiming the title and a total payout of $748,547 ($613,547 from the regular prize pool and $135,000 in bounties). SmilleThHero and Thelittle200 rounded out the top three, each taking home over $500,000 when combining their regular winnings and bounties.
