Early November marks the first anniversary of Phenom Poker, Brian Rast's crypto project, launched as a project "by players, for players." The owners focused on rare games like Draw games, Badugi, Omaha hi-lo, and various mixes, but initially offered only cash games, making it initially perceived as a niche site for fans of unusual games.

Over the past year, the room's scale has grown significantly: new formats and games have been added (alongside traditional Hold'em and PLO), media coverage has strengthened, and its audience has expanded. High roller support has played a significant role: ambassadors successfully promoted Phenom Poker at the WSOP, and Viktor Blom, Daniel Cates, and Mike Gorodinsky have appeared at the tables.

The room is celebrating its first birthday by introducing an extensive tournament schedule and giving away gifts to players.

New Tournament Schedule

In the summer, Phenom Poker launched multi-table tournaments. They decided to celebrate the launch with a massive 25,000 USDT freeroll, but the debut wasn't without its problems: the site couldn't handle the influx of players and crashed under the load. The tournament had to be postponed for two weeks. It still went ahead, but the software was plagued by bugs with seating, stack display, and other issues.

Over the following months, the team gradually refined the client and expanded the tournament schedule. Phenom now hosts MTTs not only in Hold'em and Omaha, but also in signature limit and mixed formats. Single-table SNGs and satellites have also been added. The daily schedule has grown to 44 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from 5 to 100 USDT.

Hold'em isn't the main draw at Phenom Poker, but it still has its place. If you enjoy games with ultra-low AFS, consider:

  • 6max Turbo for 10 USDT at 07:00.
  • 6max for 25-50 USDT: 11:00, 03:00 and 06:00.
  • NLH for 5-25 USDT: 15:30, 16:30, 18:30, 22:00, 00:00.

Omaha is a crowd favorite, with a variety of variations on the schedule to suit every taste: 4-5-6 cards, high-low, mixed, and even bomb pots. The best tournaments for the evening, GMT time:

  • 13:00: PLO 6max for 25.
  • 14:00: Six card Omaha for 25.
  • 15:00: Five-card Omaha for 25.
  • 17:00: BigO (5-card hi-low) for 25.
  • 17:30: PLO Mix for 25.

For those looking for a thrill, we recommend:

  • Dramaha is a mix of five-card draw and five-card Omaha. For 5-15 USDT, you can play the high version (Draw + PLO), 2-7 (2-7 single draw + PLO), or a mix of all three.
  • TORSE, HEROS, TOE, and 8-Game with buy-ins of 25-50 USDT—a nuclear cocktail of Hold'em, Omaha, Stud, and Draw with varying betting structures. Ideal for those who want to play at one table but feel like they're playing at six simultaneously.

The biggest tournament of the day is the Triple Draw Mixed for 100 USDT with a 1,000 guarantee. This is classic American-style poker—with draws and no community cards on the table.

Now that everything is running like clockwork, Phenom Poker is introducing a full schedule of evening majors. They run on both weekdays and weekends, with guarantees of up to 10,000 USDT.

This schedule cements Phenom Poker's status as the number one room for mixed game players. Previously, it was the leader only in cash games, but now it's also the leader in tournaments—no one else has such a tight schedule in the 5-100 USDT range (PokerStars isn't the leader here, either).
