In addition to The Venom Mystery Bounty, in which Brazilian Ivan Limeira finished as runner-up, ACR Poker simultaneously held a Pot-Limit Omaha version of the tournament. And even attracting large fields in both events, one player managed to reach the final table of both. That player is none other than Chance Kornuth.

On the other hand, in the PLO Mystery Bounty of The Venom, Kornuth even reached one position further. But because the tournament had more modest figures, with $4 million guaranteed, the final prize was smaller. In short, the American finished his campaign in sixth in the field of 1,238 entries, pocketing $57,339.
Chance Kornuth even commented on the feat on his X social media account. On Tuesday (1st), when he qualified for the final tables, he shared the achievement with a tone of disbelief. The next day, after the outcomes, he commented again. “Disappointing day, but wonderful Venom. Montreal, here I come,” he wrote, giving hints about his next journey.
