After a record-breaking $500,000 payout from its Bad Beat Jackpot and the successful launch of PLO5, Stake Poker has rolled out PLO6, a high-action upgrade to its Omaha offering. Alongside the new format, Stake has replenished its Bad Beat Jackpot back to a massive $1,000,000 pool, keeping the momentum high for its global community.

PLO6: The Next Evolution in Online Omaha

Stake’s new PLO6 tables mark the latest evolution of Omaha poker on the platform. Players now receive six hole cards instead of four, creating deeper strategy layers and even bigger pots.

Both PLO5 and PLO6 are played 6-handed and designed for faster, safer gameplay because players only see their cards when it’s their turn, a feature that helps reduce the risk of collusion while keeping the action streamlined.

$1M Bad Beat Jackpot Returns

After more than $500,000 in payouts since July, Stake has reset the Bad Beat Jackpot to $1,000,000. The jackpot triggers when a player loses with an exceptionally strong hand (like quads beaten by a straight flush), creating exciting moments that reward the whole table.

Stake’s jackpot has quickly become one of the most generous in online poker, with regular six-figure payouts shared across cash game players.

Stake Poker’s Momentum Continues

Between the launch of PLO5, the return of the $1M Bad Beat Jackpot, and the arrival of PLO6, Stake continues to expand its poker ecosystem. The platform has built a reputation for innovation, transparency, and community engagement — a formula that keeps players coming back.
