The $8 Million Mystery Bounty Venom

The Mystery Bounty Venom is sure to keep players on the edge of their seats. From Day 2 onwards, each player you knock out offers a bounty ranging between $5,000 and a staggering $500,000. The catch? The amounts are random, adding an extra layer of excitement to every elimination. Additionally, everyone who advances to Day 2 is assured a cash prize, ensuring that your efforts are rewarded. You can also participate in multiple Day 1s in a bid to build the best possible stack for Day 2.

The $2 Million PLO Venom

For those who enjoy the strategic depth of Pot-Limit Omaha, the $2 Million PLO Venom is a must-play event. Expected to offer a top prize of approximately $400,000, this tournament provides plenty of opportunities for skillful play and significant payouts. Just like the Mystery Bounty event, the PLO Venom allows entrants to compete in multiple Day 1s, providing options to build and improve their stacks for the intense action of Day 2.

Path to Play: Qualify for Less or Even Free

The direct buy-in for each of these prime events is $2,650. However, Ya Poker provides numerous ways to qualify at a fraction of the cost, or even for free, through their extensive Venom Fever Satellites. These satellite tournaments offer 893 seats for the Mystery Bounty Venom and 100 seats for the PLO Venom, with buy-ins starting as low as $0, making it accessible for players of all budgets to secure their place in these high-stakes tournaments.

Venom Fever Satellites are structured to give everyone a shot at joining these massive events, regardless of bankroll. You'll find qualifiers at all times of the day, ranging from freerolls to higher buy-ins, giving you multiple pathways to the big stage.

Warm Up in July

To gear up for the big events in August, you can participate in the Venom Warmup tournament taking place in July. This warmup event features a $1 Million Guaranteed Prize Pool with a modest $55 buy-in, aimed at providing competitive action and a substantial payday ahead of the main Venom tournaments. With 192 flights running daily through July 28th, there are plentiful chances to take part. Multiple Day 1s allow you to enter several times and attempt to build the best stack possible for Day 2, which kicks off on July 28th at 4:05pm ET, followed by the Final Table on July 29th at 2:05pm ET.
