Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms

Double the Action. Double the Upside. Dual Venom Mystery Bounties Are Back.This isn’t just another tournament lineup—it’s two massive chances to take a real shot at life-changing payouts.

The Dual Venom Mystery Bounties return with one event in No-Limit Hold’em and another in Pot-Limit Omaha, each packed with unpredictable bounty drops and high-pressure drama. And with a wide range of affordable and even free satellite routes, every player has a pathway to the biggest stage.

The "Venom NLH"

The $8,000,000 GTD NLH Mystery Bounty Venom begins Sunday, January 18, featuring five Day 1 flights and a $2,650 buy-in. This premier event delivers enormous knockout value, highlighted by a $500,000 top mystery bounty and a guaranteed minimum $5,000 for every player you eliminate.

The "Venom PLO"

The $2,000,000 GTD PLO Venom raises the bar yet again, matching the largest Omaha prize pool ever offered online. With a $2,650 buy-in and five Day 1 flights beginning Sunday, January 18, this Mystery Bounty edition delivers enormous knockout potential — including a $200,000 top mystery bounty and a guaranteed $5,000 minimum for every elimination. For PLO enthusiasts, it’s one of the best opportunities of the year to chase a major score.

Dual Mystery Bounty Venom Schedule

To play, simply register for any Day 1 flight. You can enter multiple flights, and only your largest stack will carry over, giving you a built-in advantage. Anyone who reaches Day 2 is already guaranteed a payout, and from that point forward, every knockout triggers a random Mystery Bounty prize reveal.

The PLO edition matches one of the largest Omaha Mystery Bounty prize pools ever put on the schedule, giving four-card specialists a true headline event to chase. At the same time, the $8 Million NLH Venom ranks among the biggest Mystery Bounty tournaments available anywhere in online poker today.

How Mystery Bounty Work

Mystery Bounties Tournaments add an exciting layer of unpredictability to the classic knockout format. Across the multiple Day 1 flights, players can fire more than once and, if they bag multiple stacks, merge them into a single, stronger stack for Day 2 — a major advantage when chasing a deep finish.

When Day 2 begins, everyone who made it through is already in the money. From there, every knockout triggers a random bounty draw, with prizes that range from solid cash rewards to the headline mystery bounty — which can drop at any moment, even on the very first elimination.
