Dual Venom PKO Tournaments Return to ACR Poker Bringing $6.5 Million in Guaranteed Prize Pools This October

Players can win their way in for pennies on the dollar or even for free through Venom Fever satellites

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Oct. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- After last year's smash-hit Dual Venom PKO tournaments, ACR Poker is bringing them back in a big way this October. Get ready for the ultimate Venom PKO poker showdown, with more action, bigger knockouts, and life-changing prizes. 

Kicking off with Day 1A on Sunday, October 12th, the Venom NLH PKO will feature a huge $5 million guarantee, while the Venom PLO PKO will have a $1.5 million guarantee. This gives players two chances to battle for millions in guarantees and some of the year's biggest progressive knockout prizes.

The $2,650 buy-in Dual Venom PKO tournaments offer massive prize money and single bounties that can reach tens of thousands of dollars. Last year's NLH PKO champion won over $700,000 in prize money and bounties and the PLO PKO champion took home over $300,000, making it some of the most adrenaline-charged action in online poker. 

"The Venom PKO is one of the most exciting formats in online poker, the bounties get bigger with every knockout, and the pressure builds from the very first hand," said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. "With two Venoms running side-by-side, players have double the chance to chase big wins and experience the kind of thrill that only a PKO can deliver."

Starting October 12th, both events run side by side and feature five Day 1s: 

• Day 1A: Sunday, October 12th
• Day 1B: Thursday, October 16th
• Day 1C: Sunday, October 19th
• Day 1D: Thursday, October 23rd
• Day 1E: Sunday, October 26th
• Day 2: Monday, October 27th
• Day 3: Tuesday, October 28th (Only for NLH PKO)
• PLO PKO Final Table: Tuesday, October 28th
• NLH PKO Final Table: Wednesday, October 29th

For players who want to get in on the action for less, ACR Poker has an extravaganza of Venom Fever satellites for pennies on the dollar or even for free. There are hundreds of seats up for grabs through Direct Satellites and Mega Satellites to both Venoms.

Over its past nine editions, ACR Poker's Venom NLH PKO has consistently surpassed its guaranteed prize pool, and last year's Dual Venom PKOs were no exception. The NLH drew 2,646 entries for a $6,615,000 prize pool, while the PLO saw 706 entries and a $1,765,000 prize pool, easily exceeding their $5 million and $1.5 million guarantees.
