ACR Poker Returns with $12M GTD Dual Venom Events

ACR Poker’s iconic $10M NLH and $2M PLO events will kickstart on April 13, with top prizes expected to reach the $1 million and $400,000 marks, respectively

In just a few days’ time, popular US-themed online poker site ACR Poker will hit the refresh button on the much-anticipated Dual Venom tournament, one of the most lucrative series of the year. 

With a jaw-dropping $12 million guaranteed across two headline events, the event that had its debut in 2019 with $5 Million Venom will once again draw in players interested in getting their hands on massive payouts and a shot at poker glory.

$10M GTD NLH and $2M GTD PLO to Run in Parallel

The action will begin this Sunday, April 13, at 1:05 p.m. ET, with two huge tournaments running simultaneously.

The No-Limit Hold’em (NLH) Venom will feature a $10 million guaranteed prize pool, and it will run simultaneously with the $2 Million Guaranteed Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) Venom

Both events will display multiple Day 1 flights, giving players plenty of chances to punch their ticket to the deeper stages.

The $10M NLH Venom will count five Day 1s, beginning April 13 and continuing through April 27. Survivors will go back for Day 2 on April 28

The field will narrow considerably on Day 3, set for April 29, prior to culminating at the Final Table on April 30 at 4:05 pm ET

The tournament’s $2,650 buy-in will put players in contention for a top prize of around $1 million.

The $2M PLO Venom, which will run concurrently, will break records as one of the largest Omaha events in ACR Poker history

This six-max tourney also features five Day 1s and plays out over three days. The eventual PLO champion is expected to take home approximately $400,000.

Moneymaker: “We’ve All Dreamed of That Deep Run”

Commenting on the Dual Venom tournament, ACR pro Chris Moneymaker spoke about the “deep run in a big tourney” that everyone has been dreaming about. 

“The best part about the Venom is anyone can take that shot. Whether you buy in directly or satellite in for a few bucks, NLH and PLO players are in for huge prize pools, great structure, and big poker action,” he added.

1,000+ Seats Via Venom Fever Satellites

ACR Poker is offering more than 1,000 seats into the Venom through Venom Fever Satellites, with qualifiers starting as low as $0

Players can also win entries through The Beast, Direct Satellites, Mega Satellites, and the Venom Vault. The latter has already handed out over $150,000 in prizes and 22 Venom seats.

ACR Poker will also run the Venom Specials and the $500K GTD Venom Warmup between April 14–27 with a $66 buy-in and daily flights.
