Alongside the Venom Warmup, players can also jump into Venom Fever satellites for a shot at securing their $2,650 seats to October’s $5 Million GTD NLH PKO and $1.5 Million GTD PLO PKO Venom tourneys, with hundreds of seats guaranteed across both events.
Moneymaker went on to note that there’s still time for players to grab their share of over $40 million in total guarantees and $60,000 in leaderboard prizes in ACR Poker’s OSS XL, with tourneys running until Monday, September 30th.
