The Omaha streets are heating up.
With all Day 1 flights officially complete, the $2,000,000 GTD Mystery Bounty PLO Venom on ACR Poker has moved into Day 2—where the field is smaller, the pressure is higher, and every knockout carries serious financial weight.
💰 A Smaller Field, But Still Massive Stakes
While the PLO Venom may run alongside its $8 Million GTD NLH counterpart, it’s anything but secondary. The Day 2 snapshot shows a tournament still packed with value:
- Total prize pool: $2,177,500
- Bounty pool alone: $1,088,750
- Total entrants: 871
- Players remaining: 102
Just over a hundred players remain—and like the NLH event, everyone left is already in the money.
But the real story? The bounties are now live.
- Minimum bounty: $5,000
- Top bounty: $200,000
In PLO, where equities run close and big pots are standard, that creates the perfect storm for dramatic swings.
🎯 Day 2 Dynamics — Action Comes Fast
Play resumes at 1:05pm ET today with:
- 15-minute blind levels
- Hourly 5-minute breaks at :55
- No late registration
And with only 102 players left, the path to the final table is much shorter—and much more volatile.
Pot-Limit Omaha naturally creates bigger pots and more multi-way action than Hold’em, and now with bounties in play, players have even more incentive to push edges.
🔥 Chip Leaders Coming Out of the Gate
The Day 2 leaderboard is topped by some seriously deep stacks:
- 4m4nhason4me – 292.7 BB
- omahayforrolls – 285.69 BB
- Yenomere69 – 279.61 BB
- jsmackers – 273.88 BB
- Down2Muck – 261.77 BB
Also sitting strong inside the top 10:
- xmrsstyle (256 BB)
- RickVaughn (250 BB)
- GGsucks (249 BB)
With stacks this deep across the top of the field, early Day 2 play won’t be a shove-fest—it’ll be calculated, aggressive, and full of big pot decisions.
🏆 Payouts Still Climbing
Even before factoring in bounty winnings, the standard payouts are substantial:
- 1st place: $210,314
- 2nd place: $157,924
- 3rd place: $118,630
And with over $1 million allocated to bounties, total earnings for top performers could climb significantly higher depending on who they eliminate.
⚡ Why PLO Makes This Even Wilder
If the NLH Venom is intense, the PLO version adds another layer of unpredictability:
- More drawing hands → closer equities
- Bigger pots → faster chip movement
- Bounties → more incentive to gamble
In short, no lead is ever safe—and no short stack is ever truly out.
One well-timed knockout can completely flip the leaderboard.
📺 What’s Ahead
With just over 100 players remaining, the field will shrink quickly as Day 2 progresses toward the final table.

The setup phase is over. The stacks are built. The money is guaranteed.
Now it’s about who can navigate the chaos of PLO, pick the right spots, and—most importantly—pull the right bounty at the right time.
Because in this format, one knockout can change everything.
