The latest edition of the Venom tournament on the Winning Poker Network is over. It ran its course this week and exceeded its guarantee by bringing in more than 2300 entries. Everyone loves a bounty tournament these days, making the Venom PKO a very popular version of the WPN’s flagship tournament.
The last Venom PKO ran in May and attracted 2,864 entries, pushing the prize pool well past the $5M guarantee to $7.16M. That was the largest one thus far, and it will keep that status. This edition ran during the end of summer, at the same time as players were getting some last bits of sunshine before the seasons change. In addition, it ran right up to the start of the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, the first one in two years. Perhaps these were factors in the lower numbers this time around.
Never fear, there will be another Venom PKO soon. But there will be a regular Venom even sooner. How the Numbers Added Up
