Phenom Poker has promoted its Open-Face Chinese Poker offering out of beta and opened the full ten-stake ladder, making it one of the only real-money crypto poker sites running OFC at a proper range of stakes. The launch landed on April 23 with a clean pineapple-branded rollout and a thank-you to beta players who stress-tested the game through the previous months.
The stake ladder runs from $0.25 per point (buy-in range $37.50 to $125) all the way up to $500 per point ($15,000 to $50,000 buy-in). That is a full-depth range by any standard: micro grinders can start at $0.25, mid-stakes regs have $1 through $10 per point to work with, and the Phenom team has put $50,000-buy-in tables live for high-stakes action that simply does not exist on other crypto sites.
The full ladder announced: $0.25, $0.50, $1, $3, $5, $10, $20, $30, $50, and $500 per point, with buy-ins scaling from $37.50 to $50,000. For a game that most major rooms treat as a curiosity, that depth of schedule is a serious commitment.

Phenom Poker team
Phenom also flagged a Joker variant as the next feature on the OFC roadmap, meaning the team is not treating this launch as the end of the work. The beta period was long enough to iron out the game flow, scoring edge cases, and the classic OFC pace issues that have historically made it difficult to keep players engaged online.
For Phenom, this is a smart differentiator. The platform is already punching above its weight in cash-game volume (Viktor Blom's $13,626 to $1.75 million session last week is the most visible example), and adding a full OFC schedule gives the room something GGPoker, PokerStars, and WPT Global do not have: a serious OFC offering with real liquidity at both micro and high stakes.
For players, the launch matters most at the edges of the schedule. OFC grinders who want high-stakes action outside of the Bobby's Room / Aria-style live setting now have it online, and recreational players can dip in at 25 cents a point without committing to the pace of a full no-limit session.
