05-05-2026



Americas Cardroom has wrapped up its latest Venom tournaments, with more than $10.2 million awarded across its No-Limit Hold`em and Pot-Limit Omaha mystery bounty events, drawing a global field and delivering a series of high-value payouts.

The $8 million guaranteed NLH Venom attracted 3,233 entries, building a prize pool of $8,082,500. Its PLO counterpart, carrying a $2 million guarantee, brought in 871 entries and reached $2,177,500. Both events finished comfortably above their guarantees.

KYOBLUK secured the NLH title and $532,918 following a final table deal. The mystery bounty format again played a central role, with Rybka1294 collecting the top bounty of $555,000. KevinParcoeur added $453,040 for second place, along with a $219,780 bounty.

Americas Cardroom Pro Chris Moneymaker made a deep run to the final table and finished ninth. "I`m proud to have made the final table in such a competitive field," said Moneymaker. "It really shows how tough and global these events have become."
The NLH final table reflected a broad international mix, with players from Europe, North America, South America, and other regions.

In the PLO event, 4m4nhasnonforme came out on top, earning $210,315 after navigating a field of Omaha specialists. The largest bounty in that event, $200,000, went to MatasSembolas. Like the NLH tournament, the PLO final table featured players from multiple countries.

The Venom series has built a consistent track record since its introduction in 2019, when it generated $6,382,500 in prize money from a $5 million guarantee. That inaugural event also recorded a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the largest cryptocurrency jackpot in an online poker tournament, a Bitcoin payout of $1,050,650.

More recent editions have continued at a similar scale. In February 2026, the series produced $9,182,500 in NLH prize pools and $2,092,500 in PLO, setting the stage for the latest results.

With strong participation across both formats and continued international representation at the final tables, the Venom remains a central fixture on the Americas Cardroom tournament schedule.
