$3K PLO Mystery Bounty Brings $2M Guarantee to WSOP Schedule

WSOP Event #65, a $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Mystery Bounty with a $2 million guarantee, hits the felt on July 2 — making it the richest PLO bounty event the series has ever run.

The Details

Day 1B is set for 1:00 p.m. PT on July 2. The $3,000 buy-in ($2,720 after the mystery-bounty rake structure) feeds a $2 million guarantee — a number that implies roughly 667 entries at full rake just to meet the floor. For a PLO side event at the WSOP, that's ambitious territory.

The mystery-bounty format, which has exploded across the WSOP schedule over the past two summers, is making its first appearance in a dedicated PLO event at this price point. No-limit hold'em mystery bounties have routinely smashed their guarantees; whether PLO draws the same volume is the open question.

Why It Matters

PLO has historically been underrepresented on the WSOP bracelet schedule relative to its popularity in cash games. A $2M guarantee signals that the WSOP is betting the four-card crowd will show up in force — and that the mystery-bounty mechanic, with its sealed envelopes and variance-heavy payouts, translates beyond hold'em.

At $3,000, the event sits in a buy-in tier accessible to a wide range of the PLO player pool grinding Las Vegas this summer. The guarantee sweetens the overlay risk for anyone on the fence.
