Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms Recap

The Venom NLH Mystery Bounty

The $8 Million GTD NLH Mystery Bounty Venom didn’t just clear the guarantee — it smashed records. A massive 3,673-entry field pushed the final prize pool all the way to $9,182,500, with an eye-popping $4,591,250 set aside for Mystery Bounties alone. That makes this the biggest Mystery Bounty Venom yet, topping previous editions like August 2024 ($8,085,000), January 2025 ($8,797,500), and August 2025 ($8,480,000).

The $2,650 Venom Mystery Bounty NLH concluded with the last three players agreeing to a final table deal. First place officially went to MatasSembolas from Malta, who earned $630,327.94 in prize money plus $97,953.06 in bounties for $728,281 total.

But the biggest payday of the tournament belonged to BALDOUS from the UK, who hit big in the mystery bounty department. After pulling the top $500,000 and $100,000 bounties (and more), BALDOUS finished with $510,378 in prize money and an incredible $729,931 in bounties, for a jaw-dropping $1,240,310 total.

BALDOUS wasn’t the official champion, but walked away with the biggest overall haul thanks to those massive mystery bounty pulls. It’s a perfect example of just how wild Mystery Bounty Venoms can get.

The Venom PLO Mystery Bounty

And it wasn’t just NLH producing massive moments. The $2 Million GTD PLO Mystery Bounty Venom came through strong as well, pulling 837 entries and finishing at $2,092,500 total, with $1,046,250 in Mystery Bounties. In other words: the PLO side met its guarantee, delivered serious value, and kept the action intense from start to finish.

And it didn’t take a final table finish to land one of the biggest hauls of the tournament. Player “phong7” finished 16th overall, but still racked up an incredible $215,000 in mystery bounties — plus $6,842 in regular prize money.

Still, the final table had plenty of fireworks of its own, with big payouts and bounty totals stacking up quickly as the last nine battled it out for the title. StickyMinaj ultimately prevailed, winning $209,860 in regular prize money plus $104,062 in bounties.
