$5 Million GTD Venom PKO Tournament
"Our first Venom PKO set records as the largest Progressive Knockout tournament in poker history, but we were just getting started," stated Michael Harris, spokesperson for Americas Cardroom.

In the Venom PKO, each player begins the tourney with a bounty on his or her head. When a player takes down another player, they receive 50% of the target's bounty. The remaining half goes on the hunter's head, so as players run deeper, their bounties get increasingly larger.
