Poker variation How it works
Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) Players receive four hole cards instead of two and must use exactly two of them with three community cards. Bets are limited by the size of the pot.
Big O A five-card version of Omaha Hi-Lo, typically played with an eight-or-better low qualifier. Players compete for the high and low halves of the pot.
Crazy Pineapple Players receive three hole cards instead of two and must discard one after the flop betting round. Otherwise, it generally follows Texas Hold'em rules.
Dealer's Choice The player in the dealer position chooses which poker variation will be played from a predetermined list of approved games.
Eight-Game Championship Players compete across eight different poker variations, testing their ability to adjust to different strategies and betting structures.
An eight-game tournament typically rotates through:
1. Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
2. Limit Hold'em
3. Omaha Hi-Lo
4. Razz
5. Seven-Card Stud
6. Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo
7. No-Limit Hold'em
8. Pot-Limit Omaha
Winning requires considerably more versatility than specializing in one poker format.
It's important to note that mixed-game events have a tendency to attract more experienced players and poker enthusiasts.

How Mystery PKOs Work
Mystery PKO is a new format exclusive to our network that combines hidden mystery prizes with growing progressive bounties.
Starting on Day 2, each knockout reveals a mystery prize. Half goes straight to your account, while the other half is added to the visible bounty on your head.
For example: Find the $100,000 top mystery bounty and pocket $50,000 immediately. The other $50,000 becomes part of your progressive bounty. Great news, right up until everybody notices.
Any accumulated progressive bounty on the player you knock out gets the same treatment: half is paid to you immediately, and half is added to your own bounty.
The biggest mystery prize might be revealed. That doesn’t mean the chase is over.
