Meanwhile, the $2 Million PLO event spans three days and features a 6-max format. Also offering five Day 1 flights starting this Sunday, this tournament ties as the largest PLO event in ACR Poker’s history. The PLO champion is projected to win a top prize of $400,000, and players have the option to enter multiple Day 1s to build their stack heading into Day 2.

“We’ve all dreamed of that deep run in a big tourney. The best part about the Venom is anyone can take that shot,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “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.”

For players still looking to lock in their Venom entry, ACR Poker is awarding over 1,000 seats through Venom Fever Satellites, with qualifiers starting at $0. The Beast, Venom Madness, Direct and Mega Satellites offer players affordable routes into both headline tournaments. Additional opportunities include the Venom Vault, which has already awarded over $150,000 in prizes and 22 X $2,650 seats.

ACR Poker is also hosting Venom Specials during every Day 1 and Day 2 of the Dual Venoms, featuring over $14 million in guaranteed prizes. Plus, the $500,000 GTD Venom Warmup has daily Day 1 flights running April 14th-27th, for a $66 buy-in.

Lightning PKOs are now available as part of ACR Poker’s recently revamped tournament schedule, giving players the chance to jump in and play anytime, anywhere.

In addition to the high-energy Lightning PKOs, players can experience even more action at ACR Poker throughout March and April. The Online Super Series runs until Monday, March 31st, featuring $25 million in guarantees and a $35,000 Leaderboard Contest. Players can also jump into the $12 million guaranteed Dual Venom tournaments starting Sunday, April 13th and secure their $2,650 seat for as little as $0 through the Venom Vault and Venom Fever Satellites.

Building on the success of its Mystery Bounty Venom events in February, which awarded more than $10 million in prize pools and attracted players from over 70 countries, ACR Poker is gearing up for another action-packed doubleheader this spring, featuring Dual Venom tournaments with $12 million in total guarantees.

NLH and PLO players can take their shot in two massive Venom events: the $10 million guaranteed NLH and the $2 million guaranteed PLO, both starting on Sunday, April 13th at 1:05pm ET.

“Playing in prestigious events like the Venom is one of the best ways to sharpen your skills and feel the thrill of big poker,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “With both the NLH and PLO Venoms running side by side, $12 million in guarantees on the line and lots of affordable ways to qualify, this is your chance to get in on the action. See you at the tables.”

The $10 million guaranteed NLH Venom spans four days, starting with the first of five Day 1 flights on Sunday, April 13th. Advancing players will battle through Day 2 on Monday, April 28th and Day 3 on Tuesday, April 29th, leading to a thrilling Final Table on Wednesday, April 30th at 4:05pm ET.

Last April, four-time WSOP bracelet winner Dominik ‘Texxassss’ Nitsche from Germany outlasted a massive field of 5,045 entries, walking away with over $1.8 million. Who will claim the NLH Venom title this year?
