ACR Poker recently announced they are running their biggest Mystery Bounty and PLO Venom tournaments together this August, with $10 million in combined guarantees. Now, they’re making it easier than ever for players to qualify by guaranteeing almost 1,000 seats via their Venom Fever promo.
Venom Fever satellites run from Sunday, July 7th through Sunday, August 18th. They are guaranteeing close to 900 seats to the 58 Million Mystery Bounty and 100 seats to the $2 Million PLO Venom tournaments. Each tourney has a $2,650 buy-in and its Day 1A on Sunday, August 4th.
“We know that a $2,650 ticket is out of the price range for many poker players, which is why we always run our Venom Fever satellites,” stated ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “These are our biggest Mystery Bounty and PLO tourneys ever and you can qualify for cheap, or even free!”
Venom Fever is guaranteeing players multiple opportunities to secure their $2,650 seat to the Mystery Bounty Venom. There are Direct Satellites (starting at $33) and Mega Satellites (paths start at $0), each offering more than 300 seats. There are also 55 seats guaranteed via several $16.50 buy-in multi-flight tourneys. What’s more, a final 160 seats are guaranteed via the weekly Beast Satellite which starts Sunday, July 7th.
Moneymaker also noted that the $2 Million PLO Venom will be really coveted by players. With Venom Fever, there are 100 PLO Venom seats up for grabs through Direct Satellites (60 seats) and Mega Satellites (40 seats).
In addition to Venom Fever, players can warm up for the Mystery Bounty and Venom PLO tourneys by participating in the Venom Warmup-ACR Poker’s event with a $1 million guarantee for only a $55 buy-in, starting July 7.
