October 29, 2026 Sunday, November 1 brings another $1,050 Bahamas Mega and the bounty phase of all three Halloween events, with final starting flights still available.A December trip to the Bahamas is back on the Sunday schedule. ACR Poker’s next WSOP Paradise Mega Satellite starts November 1 at 3:05 p.m. ET, guaranteeing seven $30,000 packages. The weekly satellites have been delivering overlay value, and seven more players booked their packages in last Sunday’s Mega.The Halloween Mystery PKOs reach their bounty phase the same day, with $650,000 guaranteed across three tournaments. Final Day 1 flights give players a last opportunity to qualify or add chips before the mystery prizes start opening.Seven packages after a run of overlaysThe $1,050 Mega guarantees $210,000 in package value. In the first two editions, ACR Poker reported more than $50,000 in overlay each week: the guaranteed awards exceeded the prize money generated by entries, with the full seven packages still awarded.That is a good reason to pay attention to the remaining qualifiers. An overlay adds value to the field, although Sunday’s eventual entry total will determine how much, if any, overlay the next Mega produces.The October 25 Mega drew 190 entries and awarded another seven packages. This Sunday offers the same seven-package guarantee, giving players another chance to trade an online satellite result for a seat in a $50 million guaranteed live tournament. 🚨 HUGE OVERLAY ALERT! WSOP PARADISE ON ACR POKER! 🏝️ Last week, we awarded 7 WSOP Paradise packages, each worth $30,000! Tomorrow, Sunday, October 18, we're doing it all over again with our $1K Mega Satellite! 🇧🇸 Satellites have been overlaying, but one thing hasn't changed: ACR Poker is sending at least 100 players to the Bahamas! 🌴 💰 $1K too steep? No problem! Feeder satellites are running, giving you a shot at turning just a few bucks into a $1K Mega Satellite entry! Your shot at Paradise starts on ACR Poker!💥 #acrpoker— ACR Poker (@ACR_POKER) October 17, 2026 What a Paradise package coversEach $30,000 package includes the $26,000 Super Main Event buy-in and accommodation at SLS Baha Mar from December 5–18. The Super Main Event runs December 10–17, so the hotel stay covers the tournament dates.The room is provided on a room-only basis. Players cover their own travel, meals and personal spending. Winning a package handles the tournament entry and accommodation; it is still worth planning the rest of the trip before you play.Players can also qualify for a Mega through $95 Beast satellites. Those winners are pre-registered for the following Sunday’s Mega, so the November 1 Beast feeds November 8, rather than the Mega earlier that afternoon. Check the destination tournament before entering a feeder.Weekly Megas continue through November 22 as part of the promotion offering 100 packages. There are seven guaranteed on November 8 and November 15, followed by eight in the November 22 Mega.Halloween flights are almost finishedThe Bahamas can wait until December. The Halloween bounty hunt starts this Sunday, after starting flights that opened October 18. Players have three entry points:$109 buy-in — $500,000 guaranteed.$33 buy-in — $100,000 guaranteed.$5.50 buy-in — $50,000 guaranteed.All three tournaments have Day 2 on November 1. Check the lobby for each event’s remaining flights and individual Day 2 start time; sharing a date does not mean all three begin at the same hour.Players can enter multiple Day 1 flights and combine their qualifying stacks for Day 2, subject to the entry conditions. Already through? Another successful flight can add chips to the stack you bring back for the bounty phase.A knockout pays you and raises your bountyThe new Mystery PKO format, exclusive to the Winning Poker Network, combines a hidden mystery prize with a visible progressive bounty. Day 1 eliminations award no bounty money. Everyone starts Day 2 with $0 in accumulated progressive bounty, regardless of how many chips they qualified with.During the bounty phase, a knockout reveals the eliminated player’s mystery prize. Half is paid immediately, and half is added to your visible progressive bounty. If that opponent has already accumulated a progressive bounty, that amount is also split 50/50: half to your balance and half onto your head.For a hypothetical example, eliminate someone with a $100 mystery prize and a $40 progressive bounty. You receive $70 immediately, while another $70 is added to your own bounty. Those figures illustrate the mechanics, rather than advertised Halloween prizes.A major mystery reveal therefore leaves money in play on the winner’s head. The rest of the table can see that growing progressive bounty, and a later knockout can pass a share of it to someone else. Finding a big prize can make you the next attractive target.Your November 1 poker plansFor the WSOP Paradise Mega, the key details are 3:05 p.m. ET, a $1,050 buy-in and seven guaranteed $30,000 packages. Lower-cost feeders have their own schedules and destinations, so check which Mega each one awards entry to.For the Halloween Mystery PKOs, find a remaining starting flight at your chosen buy-in and confirm your event’s Day 2 time. The guarantees total $650,000, and qualifying stacks combine before the bounty stage begins.If Halloween is your target, the remaining flights are your last chance to bring chips into Sunday’s hunt. Open the lobby, choose your event and build the stack you want when the bounties become live.
