45 Day 2 qualifications span two $2,650 online poker tournaments.
-- Brazilian poker players reached the final tables of Americas Cardroom's October Dual Venom PKOs three times, following 45 Day 2 qualifications across No-Limit Hold'em (NLH) and Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO).
The $5 million guaranteed NLH event drew 2,143 entries and a $5,357,500 prize pool. PLO attracted 602 entries and a $1,505,000 prize pool against its $1.5 million guarantee. Both $2,650 buy-in tournaments finished October 21.
The Progressive Knockout format awarded bounties from Day 1. "PushLightYear" won the NLH title, while "tigerseyes" took PLO. The prize pools exceeded their combined guarantees by $362,500. Each tournament offered five Day 1 flights before Day 2 on October 19.
Victor Pedote ("meteli goli") placed seventh in NLH for about $104,088 including bounties. José Orlando ("Blessed33") finished fourth in PLO for about $82,743, with Yuri Martins Dzivielevski ("vousconfus") fifth for about $72,633. Of Brazil's 45 Day 2 qualifications, 39 came in NLH and six in PLO; Martins advanced in both formats.
Brazilian streamer Marcelo Cartana ("CartanaPoker") started his qualification route with an $0.80 Survivor Flip and went on to finish 158th in NLH for approximately $8,367, including bounties.
The finishes build on a Brazilian Venom history that includes 2019 champions Rafael Moraes and João Simão, 2021 winner Ramon Kropmanns, and Gabriel Tavares' $1,505,240 victory in April 2025. Orlando and Martins also shared the April 2026 PLO Mystery Bounty Venom final table. In April, Orlando placed third and Martins sixth.
