ACR Poker Announces the Biggest Venoms Ever: $15 Million in Dual Mystery Bounty Events

ACR Poker has been teasing something big for July 1.

Now we know why.

For its 25th Anniversary celebration, ACR Poker is raising the stakes with the biggest Venom tournaments in its history: a massive $15 Million Dual Mystery Bounty Venom duo running from August 13th through September 2nd.

Two Venoms. A combined $15 million guaranteed. Huge Mystery Bounties. More Day 1 flights. And more than 1,500 guaranteed seats available through Venom Fever qualifiers.

ACR Poker is also adding more than $10 million in added-value Venom Specials throughout the series, starting Monday, August 17^th.

If you’ve been waiting for the official reason to start chasing a Venom seat, this is it.

Two Venoms. $15 Million Guaranteed.

This year’s anniversary Venom series features two major Mystery Bounty events, both with a $2,650 buy-in.

The headline event is the $12,000,000 GTD NLH, featuring a massive $500,000 top Mystery Bounty. One knockout could instantly become a life-changing moment, and you don’t even need to win the tournament to create the biggest story of the series.

Omaha players also get their own monster event: the $3,000,000 GTD PLO. It also carries a $2,650 buy-in and features a $250,000 top Mystery Bounty.

Together, the NLH and PLO create the largest combined Venom duo that ACR Poker has ever offered.

Why Mystery Bounty Changes Everything

Mystery Bounty tournaments add a completely different layer to major-event poker.

In a traditional tournament, the biggest prize is usually waiting at the top of the payout structure. In a Mystery Bounty format, every knockout after the bounty phase begins on Day 2 gives players a shot at a hidden prize.

That means one elimination could be worth more than a normal pay jump. One bounty pull could turn a good tournament into an unforgettable one. And with a $500,000 top bounty in the NLH Venom, every knockout has serious potential.

Make Day 2 and start hunting.

More Flights. More Chances.

The Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms will feature eight Day 1 flights, giving players more opportunities than ever to qualify and build a stack.

The schedule begins Thursday, August 13th and continues through Sunday, August 30th, with Day 2 set for Monday, August 31st. The NLH event continues with Day 3 on Tuesday, September 1st, and both Final Tables take place on Wednesday, September 2nd.

That many starting flights matter. Players can pick the dates that fit their schedule, take multiple shots, and try to carry a stronger stack into Day 2.

Even better, players can compete in multiple Day 1 flights and combine qualifying stacks for Day 2. In a Mystery Bounty format, that can make a huge difference. The bigger your stack, the more pressure you can apply. The more pressure you apply, the more knockout chances you create.

Make Day 2 and You’re Already Paid

One of the best parts of this format is simple: every Day 2 player is already in the money.

Once you survive a Day 1 flight and advance to Day 2, you’ve locked up a cash before the Mystery Bounty hunt begins.

From there, the tournament becomes a mix of survival, aggression, and opportunity.

You’re already paid. Now you’re hunting bounties.

Venom Fever has over 1,500 guaranteed seats

Venom Fever gives players a way to qualify for less—or even free. More than 1,500 guaranteed seats will be available through Direct and Mega Satellites, Beast Tourneys, Survivor Flips Step Tourneys, and more starting from $0.

That means players don’t need to put up the full $2,650 buy-in to chase a seat. They can start small, work through qualifiers, and try to win their way into the biggest Venoms that ACR Poker has ever offered.

The Biggest Venoms Ever Start in August

The $15 Million Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms are officially here, and they’re the biggest Venoms in ACR Poker history.

To recap: $15 million guaranteed, a $12 million NLH, a $3 million PLO, top bounties of $500,000 and $250,000, eight Day 1 flights, stack combining, every Day 2 player in the money, $10 million+ in added-value Venom Specials, and 1,500+ guaranteed seats through Venom Fever.

The guarantees are bigger. The bounties are bigger. The schedule is bigger.
