After the win, ‘MatasSembolas’ said: “It feels great to win such a big tournament. The Venom is one of the most well-known events on the schedule, so finishing in first place is very satisfying and something I’m really happy about.”

Adding to the excitement, runner-up ‘BALDOUS’ from the UK scored the biggest payday of the tournament, claiming the top $500,000 and $150,000 bounties and pocketing $510,378 in prize money plus $729,931 in bounties for a whopping $1,240,310 in total.

Meanwhile, in the PLO, ‘StickyMinaj’ beat the 837-entry field to win the $209,860 top prize and $104,062 in bounties.
