The $10 Million NLH and $2 Million PLO events start Sunday, April 13th, with top prizes projected at $1 million and $400,000 respectively

The countdown is on as ACR Poker’s flagship Dual Venom tournaments take center stage in just five days, boasting $12 million in guaranteed prize pools and spotlighting two major events: the $10 million NLH and $2 million PLO.

This Sunday, April 13th at 1:05pm ET marks the start of the two massive Venom events running side by side, offering players a chance to compete in some of the biggest tournament action on ACR Poker’s 2025 calendar.

The $10 Million NLH Venom starts with the first of five Day 1s this Sunday. Day 1 survivors will return for Day 2 on Monday, April 28th, and if they advance, continue to Day 3 on Tuesday. Day 3 survivors will compete for the Venom NLH title at the Final Table on Wednesday, April 30th at 4:05pm ET. With a $2,650 buy-in, the champion is set to win an estimated $1 million.

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’S LIGHTNING PKOS DELIVER FAST-PACED TOURNAMENT POKER ACTION AND BIG WINS IN JUST 45 MINUTES

 

Poker players looking for lightning-fast tournament poker action are heading to ACR Poker. The popular global poker site is bringing the heat with Lightning PKOs—a rapid progressive knockout tournament format that delivers high-speed play and big knockout prizes in tournaments that last just 45 minutes.

“If you’re a family man like me, finding time to play tournaments can be a challenge,” said ACR Pro and poker legend Chris Moneymaker. “ACR Poker’s Lightning PKOs are perfect for time-starved players who love fast-paced poker action and big knockout rewards without the long grind. Whether you’re playing on mobile or desktop, there’s 45-minute tournaments running around the clock, making it easy to find a game and join the excitement anytime.”

Running 24/7, Lightning PKOs give players the flexibility to jump into the action at any time. With buy-ins ranging from $0.11 up to $31.50, these tournaments cater to every bankroll while providing the chance to play for instant knockout bounties. With 20 minutes of late registration, players can join on the fly without missing out.

Unlike traditional poker tournaments that can last for hours, Lightning PKOs keep the action moving, with every tournament wrapping up in just 45 minutes. Players start with 10 big blinds and every knockout results in an instant cash prize. With more players joining daily, the prize pools continue to grow, offering even greater rewards in every tournament.

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.

ACR POKER HOSTS DUAL VENOM TOURNAMENTS THIS APRIL WITH $12 MILLION IN TOTAL GUARANTEES

Published

on

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?

Omaha fans can also mark their calendars for the 3-day PLO Venom, featuring a $2 million guarantee and five Day 1 options. It kicks off with Day 1A on Sunday, April 13th, followed by Day 2 on Monday, April 28th, and the final table on Tuesday, April 29th.

Players can stay updated and easily add both Venom events to their calendar via ACR Poker’s online tournament schedule.

The direct buy-in of each Venom is $2,650, but players have the chance to qualify for as little as $0 through ACR Poker’s Venom Fever Satellites, which guarantee over 1,000 Venom seats across The Beast, Venom Madness, Direct and Mega satellites.

In addition to the flagship Venom tournaments, players can dive into ACR Poker’s revamped tournament schedule, compete in the Online Super Series with $25 million in guarantees, and take their shot at the $500,000 guaranteed Venom Warmup in April with just a $66 buy-in.
