About the Venom Series
The Venom tournament series was launched in 2019.

Since then, the series has expanded to include both NLH and PLO editions, each run as Mystery Bounty events with prize pools split equally between standard payouts and bounty awards.
The April 2026 edition ran from April 12 through April 29, with multiple Day 1 flight options available to players prior to a consolidated Day 2. The buy-in for the NLH event was set at $2,650; the PLO event carried a matching buy-in structure.
