We just wrapped up our Dual Venom Mystery Bounty tournaments, and the action did not disappoint. Across both the $8 Million NLH Venom and the $2 Million PLO Venom, players battled for life-changing payouts, massive bounties, and their place in ACR Poker history. Here’s a full breakdown of how it all played out.
$8 Million NLH Venom
The $8 Million GTD NLH Venom once again proved why it’s one of the most anticipated events in online poker. The tournament featured six Day 1 flights (including the late addition of a Saturday bonus flight) and attracted an impressive 3,392 entrants, pushing the prize pool to $8,480,000 — well above the guarantee.
When the dust settled, it was IamYorFather who emerged as champion after a hard-fought final table. The victory was worth $655,163 in prize money plus $45,000 in bounties, for a total payday of $710,163. Runner-up ArkaduktusFrRM wasn’t far behind, claiming a massive cash prize of $484,282 and piling up $210,000 in bounties along the way, for a combined haul of $694,282.
The Mystery Bounty portion provided some of the most exciting moments, highlighted by sorka1975 pulling the $500,000 top bounty, the largest of the event. AndreWard also made headlines with $205,000 in total bounty wins, rounding out the top three alongside ArkaduktusFrRM.
ACR Pros were active from the very start, with Chris Moneymaker firing multiple bullets during the opening flights and Michael Loncar, Rob Kuhn, and Katie Lindsay all reaching Day 2. You can watch the replay of the Final Table with commentary and appearances from ACR Pros Rob Kuhn and Drew Gonzalez on our Twitch channel.
