From over three thousand entries… to just nine.
The $8M GTD Venom Mystery Bounty (NLH) at ACR Poker has officially reached the final table, and leading the charge is KevinParCoeur, bagging a commanding 132.46 BB heading into the final day.
But he’s not alone—because sitting among the final nine is none other than ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker, still in contention and very much part of the story.
From 3,233 Entries… to today’s Final Table
This was never going to be small.
The NLH Venom brought:
- 3,233 entries
- A massive $8,082,500 prize pool
- Prize Pool split evenly between regular payouts ($4M+) and mystery bounties ($4M+)
Now? Just 9 players remain, each guaranteed a huge payday—but all eyes on that first-place prize of over $638K.
The Final 9 (Stacks at a Glance)
Here’s how the final table shapes up:
- KevinParCoeur – 132.46 BB (chip leader)
- distrxteddd – 83.77 BB
- Runner114 – 68.93 BB
- ZenRead – 57.14 BB
- YKOBLIUK – 53.42 BB
- RiverRi0t72 – 31.85 BB
- GTS gr8 GTO – 23.45 BB
- Rigapols81 – 17.37 BB
- Chris Moneymaker – 16.53 BB
Short stack or not—you can never count Moneymaker out.
We’ve seen this script before.
The Bounty Story (Where It Got Wild)
As always, the Mystery Bounty element delivered chaos—and some massive scores along the way.
Top bounty pulls included:
- 💰 $555,000 — Rybka1294
- 💰 $215,625 — KevinParCoeur
- 💰 $145,625 — AUR4
That’s the beauty of this format—some players have already locked up life-changing money, regardless of where they finished.
The Promotion: Big Fields, Bigger Moments
The Venom Mystery Bounty continues to be one of the biggest draws on the schedule for a reason:
- Massive guarantees
- Deep structures
- And a bounty system that can flip everything in a single knockout
It’s part skill. Part timing. Part opening the right envelope at the right moment.
Final Table Pressure (and Opportunity)
With just nine players left:
- Pay jumps are steep
- Every decision is magnified
- And chip stacks can swing fast
There’s a clear leader in KevinParCoeur, but plenty of play behind him—and enough short stacks to create real chaos.
And then there’s Moneymaker, sitting with 16.5 BB and the kind of experience that doesn’t show up in chip counts.
Final Thought
From 3,233 entries to 9, the NLH Venom has delivered everything it promised:
Huge prize pool. Massive bounties. And a final table stacked with storylines.
A chip leader chasing the title. A field packed with killers.
And an ACR Pro still very much alive.
Now it’s time to see who closes it out.
