Host of Direct Satellites, Mega Satellites and Venom Vault promotion lead to Dual Mystery Bounty Venom tournaments featuring $10 million GTD

ACR Poker’s flagship Dual Mystery Bounty Venom events will be back on stage this January with $10 million in guaranteed prize pools. Players can take advantage of multiple opportunities to lock in their $2,650 seat to the NLH and PLO events through the popular Venom Fever promotion, making entry to the major tournaments easy and affordable.

From Monday, January 12th to Sunday, February 1st, the Venom Fever satellites will award hundreds of seats to the $8 million NLH and $2 million PLO through Direct Satellites, Mega Satellites (start at $0), Beast Tourneys and more. Day 1A for both events is on Sunday, January 18th.

“Satellites are your backstage pass to play in our biggest online events, and the Venom Fever satellites are a great way to lock in your Venom seat for cheap or even free,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “Land just one good qualifier run and you’re at the table with millions on the line. With both events just around the corner, make sure you don’t miss out!”

For more fun and affordable ways to qualify, players can also take advantage of the Venom Vault promotion for a chance to win a free $2,650 seat. Every player gets a free key on Saturday, January 17th to unlock their first Venom Vault, with additional keys available through completing special challenges, purchasing for $2.99 each, or exchanging for 300 Combat Points. Each key guarantees a prize, which players can access via the Venom Vault banner in the My Account section of the ACR Poker client, ensuring that every player receives a reward.

The Dual Mystery Bounty Venom tournaments offer huge rewards and massive bounties. August’s NLH champion won over $700,000 in prize money and bounties, and the PLO champion took home over $350,000, making it some of the most exhilarating action in online poker.

ACR Poker wrapped up its flagship Dual Venom tournaments, delivering over two weeks of big poker action and awarding more than $10 million in prize pools as players worldwide battled for massive payouts and coveted bounties.

The $8 Million NLH Venom drew 3,392 entrants across six Day 1 flights, pushing the prize pool to $8,480,000. The tournament concluded with Southern California resident David ‘IamYorFather’ Gonzalez, 54, claiming the NLH Venom crown after a fierce final table battle against elite opponents. The champion eliminated runner-up ‘ArkaduktusFrRM’, earning $665,163 and $45,000 in bounties.

“I’m still trying to process what just happened. Even days later it all seems so surreal. I was especially thrilled to be able to overcome being the short stack at the final table,” Gonzalez shared. “The money was a blessing because I have quite a few family members in need and this allows me to support them fully.”

Adding to the excitement, ‘sorka1975’ claimed the $500,000 top bounty, with ‘ArkaduktusFrRM’ ($210,000) and ‘AndreWard’ ($205,000) rounding out the top three mystery bounty winners.

ACR Pros kept the action buzzing throughout, with Chris Moneymaker firing up multiple bullets in the opening Day 1s, and Michael Loncar, Rob Kuhn, and Katie Lindsay earning their spots in Day 2. Fans can rewatch the final table action on ACR Poker’s Twitch channel, featuring Rob Kuhn and Drew Gonzalez.

Meanwhile, the $2 Million PLO Venom, tying ACR Poker’s biggest Omaha tourney ever, attracted 830 entrants and a $2,075,000 total prize pool. ‘FutureTrunks’ ultimately secured the first-place prize of $208,217, plus $146,250 in bounties.

“It was awesome to see such a solid turnout and fun atmosphere in both Venom tourneys,” said Moneymaker. “Huge congrats to the winners and everyone who hit those incredible bounties.” 

From Venom Fever to the Venom Vault, ACR Poker offered players hundreds of low-cost opportunities to win $2,650 Venom seats. One standout success came from ‘xGetxRektx’, who turned an $0.80 Venom Vault Key into an incredible $15,000 bounty and $6,500 cash prize.

While the Venom tourneys have concluded, ACR Poker is ensuring the action continues with more exciting tournaments approaching, including September’s Online Super Series XL, boasting a $50 million guarantee.
