Yesterday was huge at ACR Poker as players piled into the final Day 1 flights of our Dual Venoms. The $8 Million GTD NLH and $2 Million GTD PLO Mystery Bounty were front and center, but they weren’t the only action in town. Players also battled in Venom Specials and our signature Sunday tourneys, making it a packed day across the board.
Read about it all in our August 24th Sunday Recap.
