Two Seven-Figure PLO Events Hit Vegas This Weekend

PLO players in Las Vegas face a rare scheduling collision this weekend: two separate tournaments with seven-figure guarantees running on back-to-back days.

WSOP Event #65: PLO Mystery Bounty Day 2

WSOP Event #65, the $3,000 PLO Mystery Bounty, resumes for Day 2 on July 4 at 1:00 p.m. PT. The event carries a $2 million guarantee — one of only two PLO bracelet events this summer series with a seven-figure floor. The $2,720 net buy-in (after rake) feeds a prize pool split between a standard payout structure and randomized mystery bounty envelopes awarded on each elimination.

$1M GTD PLO Championship

A day later, on July 5, a separate $2,000 buy-in PLO Championship kicks off with a $1 million guarantee. The event launches at noon PT and gives PLO specialists a second shot at a major score without competing directly against the WSOP Day 2 field.

The Decision Point

The staggered start dates mean players who survive Day 2 of Event #65 on July 4 could still register for the PLO Championship on July 5 — but anyone who busts the Mystery Bounty early faces a 24-hour wait. Combined, the two events put at least $3 million in guaranteed PLO prize money on the board within a 48-hour window.
