For the fifth time in the site’s history, Americas Cardroom is hosting a massive Venom PKO event. This huge progressive knockout tournament boasts a $5 million guarantee and will run from Oct. 20 to Nov. 2, with four starting days. Day 1A: Thursday, Oct. 20 Day 1B: Sunday, Oct. 23 Day 1C: Thursday, Oct. 27 Day 1D: Sunday, Oct. 30 Day 2: Monday, Oct. 31 Day 3: Tuesday, Nov. 1 Day 4: Wednesday, Nov. 2 What Is A PKO Tournament? In a normal $10 buy-in knockout or bounty tournament, $5 would go to the prize pool and $5 would go to the bounty. Knocking out another player would result in $5 added to any prize you cash for. In a $10 PKO tournament, $5 would go to the prize pool, and $5 goes to the bounty. However, when you knock someone out of the tournament, instead of getting the full $5, you get half that amount, or $2.50. The other $2.50 now gets added to your own bounty, making it now worth $7.50. Should someone take you out, the process repeats itself. They’ll pocket $3.75 (half the current bounty), and the other $3.75 gets added to their head. By the end of a tournament, a single player’s bounty could even be worth more than the remaining prize pool, creating a very exciting dynamic at the final table.
