The chaos has been trimmed. The money has not.
After days of swings, bounties, and big pots that probably shouldn’t have been that big… the $2M GTD Venom Mystery Bounty PLO at ACR Poker is officially down to its final 7 players today.
And leading the charge?
FreddiUrsa, sitting atop the counts with 93.44 BB and a serious shot at closing this thing out.
From 871 Entries… to 7 Survivors
This wasn’t just another PLO tournament.
This was:
- 871 entries
- $2,177,500 total prize pool
- Prize pool evenly split ($1,088,750 in regular payouts and $1,088,750 in mystery bounties)
In other words: half the money was predictable… the other half was chaos in envelope form.
Now? Just seven players remain, and every decision from here on out comes with real weight.
The Final 7 (and How They Stack Up)
Here’s who’s left standing heading into today’s final table:
- FreddiUrsa – 93.44 BB (chip leader)
- vousconfus – 77.58 BB
- LawyerDad68 – 69.96 BB
- MatasSembolas – 47.63 BB
- OutFoxenYou – 42.41 BB
- Blessed33 – 39.38 BB
- 4m4nhasnon4me – 16.69 BB
Plenty of chips in play. Plenty of room for movement.
And in PLO… that can change in about two hands.
The Bounty Madness (Where Things Got Wild)
Let’s be honest—the Mystery Bounty format is where things really got out of hand.
While players were battling for position, others were ripping envelopes and hitting life-changing scores mid-tournament.
Top bounty pulls included:
- 💰 $200,000 — MatasSembolas
- 💰 $61,750 — vousconfus
- 💰 $40,000 — FreddiUrsa
Because in this format, you don’t even need to win the tournament to walk away with a headline.
The Promotion: Half Skill, Half Spin of the Wheel
The Venom Mystery Bounty PLO continues to hit that perfect balance:
- Deep, high-level Omaha action
- Massive guaranteed prize pool
- Bounties that can flip a tournament (or a bankroll) instantly
It rewards aggression. It rewards timing.
And sometimes… it just rewards being in the right hand at the right time.
What’s Next
With just 7 players remaining, it’s all about closing.
- The pay jumps are real.
- The pressure is higher.
- And every pot feels like it matters just a little more.
One player will take it down.
But in true Mystery Bounty fashion, a few players may already feel like they’ve won.
Final Thought
From 871 entries to 7, the Mystery Bounty Venom PLO has delivered exactly what it promised:
Big action. Bigger swings. And a format that refuses to play fair.
Now it’s time to see who finishes the job.
