ACR POKER UNLEASHES $10 MILLION GTD MYSTERY BOUNTY VENOM TOURNAMENTS IN FIVE DAYS
Take your shot at huge rewards and up to $500,000 in bounties
The action begins in just five days as ACR Poker launches its flagship Mystery Bounty Venom tournaments, offering NLH and PLO players a chance to compete for a share of $10 million in guaranteed prizes.
Running side by side, the $8 million NLH and $2 million PLO Venoms will each feature five Day 1 options starting this Sunday, January 19th at 12:05pm ET, followed by Day 2 on Monday, February 3rd at 1:05pm ET. The Final Table will take place on Tuesday, February 4th at 4:05pm ET, live-streamed on ACR Poker’s Twitch channel, with expert commentary from Justin Kelly and other special poker guests.
ACR Poker’s NLH Venom boasts a massive $8 million guarantee, and players can enter multiple Day 1 flights to build their stacks. Day 2 offers the chance to win big, with bounties up to $500,000 for every knockout, a feat claimed last year by WSOP bracelet winner and poker coach Faraz ‘The-Toilet 0’ Jaka. The event offers a minimum bounty of $5,000 for each knockout, with the champion projected to win approximately $850,000, plus any additional bounties earned. Last year’s winner, Brazilian poker pro Ivan ‘chickenpastry’ Limeira, took home $617,333 after outlasting 3,234 entries.
For PLO fans, the $2 million PLO Venom, tying ACR Poker’s biggest Omaha tourney ever, offers top prizes including a $200,000 maximum bounty and an estimated $250,000 first-place payout. Last year’s PLO champion ‘omahafyrarolls’ triumphed over 914 entries, earning $471,378. Like the $8 Million NLH Venom, the PLO tourney allows players to grow their stacks by entering multiple Day 1’s.
“Mystery Bounties add so much excitement to the game,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “With huge prize pools and bounties, it’s the perfect time for players to jump in. Plus, with so many affordable ways to qualify through satellites and the Venom Vault, there’s no excuse not to dive in and take a shot at playing for big prizes.”
Players can buy-in directly to both Venoms for $2,650 or qualify for as little as $0 through Venom Fever satellites. With over 800 seats guaranteed through The Beast tourney, plus Venom Madness, Direct and Mega satellites, there are plenty of ways to secure a spot. In addition, players can unlock their ticket through the Venom Vault, which has already awarded over $54,000 in total prizes and eight $2,650 Venom seats.
Beyond the flagship Venom tournaments, there’s plenty of supporting action through Venom Specials with over $10 million guaranteed, alongside the $500,000 GTD Venom Warmup that has just a $55 buy-in.

Season 2 of the Series in Development for 2026
Esports World Cup: Level Up, the five-part docuseries from Emmy-winning filmmaker R.J. Cutler (Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry, Elton John: Never Too Late, Martha), is now streaming for free on Prime Video’s official YouTube channel.
The Level Up series, produced by This Machine (part of Sony Pictures Television) in partnership with the Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF), offers an unprecedented look behind the scenes of the world’s largest esports and gaming festival, redefining what it means to be a champion in the digital age. A second season is now confirmed, continuing the story of the EWC and the next generation of Clubs and players shaping the future of global esports.
In the first season, Level Up captures human stories of the competition. From Oakland’s Soka of Team Falcons, a swaggering extrovert who defies gamer stereotypes while carrying the weight of a tough past, to FAKER of T1, a South Korean icon battling the loneliness of his own legend, each player’s journey reveals the person behind the avatar.
In the Philippines, 19-year-old Sanford of Team Liquid fights for his family after tragedy strikes, while Drazah of Atlanta FaZe traces his rise from a small shed in Alaska to the global stage. Indonesian sisters Chel and Cinny of Team Vitality lead a dominant women’s team even as personal loss tests their resolve.
Beyond the players, Yevhen Zolotarov of NAVI competes to support a war-torn Ukraine, and Mossad Aldossary, the 24-year-old CEO of Team Falcons, shoulders the hopes of a nation as he strives to keep the championship at home in Riyadh.
Together, their stories reveal what truly drives esports’ greatest figures, not just victory, but purpose, pride, and resilience.
Stay tuned for more information about Season 2 of Esports World Cup: Level Up.
