Last Chance to Enter the ACR Venom
The Venom series from ACR Poker is reaching its decisive stage. Only one qualifying flight remains, the eighth, to try to access Day 2. The main NLH event offers the largest guaranteed prize, with $12 million at stake, and includes bounties from $5,000 to $500,000. Meanwhile, the PLO tournament adds another $3 million along with mystery prizes ranging from $5,000 to $250,000.
On Sunday, the last satellites for both main events will take place. Interested players can secure their spot through the $2,650 Mega Satellites, available in both NLH and PLO, facilitating access to the Venom’s grand prizes.
Day 2 Guarantees Prizes for All Qualified
All participants reaching Day 2 will be rewarded, as mystery bounties start on Monday at 1:05 PM ET. Those who have cashed in multiple flights can combine their chips for Day 2, thus increasing their options in the competition.
In the case of the PLO, the tournament will conclude on Monday, distributing final prizes that very night. The NLH edition will progress until the final table, which will take place on Tuesday. This structure offers different perspectives for each format, but in both cases, players start with guaranteed prizes upon reaching Day 2.
Recent Results and Featured Pros from Previous Editions
The previous edition of the Venom brought together prominent figures. Chris Moneymaker, ACR Poker ambassador and winner of the 2003 WSOP Main Event, reached his third Venom final table in the NLH event. In that same cycle, Chance Kornuth and Alex Foxen —also an ACR Poker ambassador— shone at the PLO final table, competing for larger rewards.
Each edition of Venom consolidates itself as one of the largest events on the online circuit, both due to its millionaire prize pool and the consistent presence of recognized professional players.
Access, Prizes, and Dynamics of the Mega Satellites
There are few opportunities left to directly access Day 2. The $2,650 Mega Satellites offer the most direct route, allowing players of various levels to seek their seat in the main NLH and PLO events.
Guaranteed pots ensure multiple significant prizes:
- NLH: $12 million guaranteed, bounties from $5,000 to $500,000
- PLO: $3 million guaranteed, bounties from $5,000 to $250,000
The mystery bounty mechanics add an element of surprise, as the value of each reward is only revealed upon eliminating an opponent.
