ACR Poker's $10 Million GTD Mystery Bounty Venom Tournaments Set to Begin in Just Five Days
In a thrilling announcement for poker enthusiasts, ACR Poker is launching its much-anticipated Mystery Bounty Venom tournaments with a staggering $10 million in guaranteed prizes. Scheduled to kick off in just five days, this event is set to attract countless players eager to test their skills and luck in the popular No-Limit Hold'em (NLH) and Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) formats.
Starting on Sunday, January 19th at 12:05 PM ET, both tournaments will feature five Day 1 options. The tournaments promise a competitive and exciting experience, culminating in the Final Table on Tuesday, February 4th, live on ACR Poker's Twitch channel featuring expert commentary from Justin Kelly, along with special guests. The NLH tournament boasts an impressive $8 million guarantee while the PLO event comes with a $2 million prize pool.
Last year's event saw poker players raving about the thrilling mystery bounty format. Participants have the chance to win up to $500,000 for each knockout, which adds an electrifying element to the competition. The minimum bounty awarded per elimination is set at $5,000, and the champions are projected to take home around $850,000, in addition to any additional bounties collected.
Notably, the previous year's champion, Brazilian pro Ivan 'chickenpastry' Limeira, garnered an incredible $617,333 after navigating through a field of 3,234 entries, demonstrating the hefty rewards that await this year’s contenders. For fans of Pot-Limit Omaha, the $2 million PLO Venom presents a golden opportunity, offering a maximum bounty of $200,000 and an estimated first-place payout of $250,000. Last year, the PLO winner, playing under the username 'omahafyrarolls', emerged victorious from a pool of 914 participants, taking home $471,378.
Chris Moneymaker, a renowned ACR Poker Pro, shared his enthusiasm for the event: "Mystery Bounties add so much excitement to the game. With huge prize pools and bounties, it's the perfect time for players to jump in. Plus, with so many affordable ways to qualify through satellites and the Venom Vault, there's no excuse not to play."
Players looking to participate can buy-in directly to either of the Venoms for $2,650. Alternatively, they can secure a spot via Venom Fever satellites, where entry costs can be as low as $0. ACR Poker guarantees over 800 seats through The Beast tourney, along with various other satellite options that make it easier for aspiring players to join in on the action. The Venom Vault has already distributed over $54,000 in total prizes, including eight $2,650 Venom seats—highlighting the many channels available for players to qualify.
Apart from the flagship Venom tournaments, ACR Poker has lined up a multitude of supporting events, ensuring a grand poker experience with over $10 million in guaranteed prizes throughout the series. In addition, players can look forward to the $500,000 GTD Venom Warmup event, with an affordable buy-in of just $55, making it accessible for a wide range of participants.
