ACR Poker Sets Up Massive Sunday With Final $6.5M Dual Venom Flights, Halloween Mystery PKOs and WSOP Paradise Packages

October 18 brings the final Venom starting flights, the close of Venom Fever, three Halloween Mystery PKO debuts and another Mega guaranteeing seven $30,000 Bahamas packages.

Sunday, October 18, is the last chance to enter ACR Poker’s Dual Venom PKOs and the final day of Venom Fever. The two bounty tournaments carry $6.5 million in combined guarantees, with their fifth and final starting flights at 1:05 p.m. ET.

The same Sunday opens the Halloween Mystery PKOs, with three tournaments totaling $650,000 guaranteed, and brings another WSOP Paradise Mega Satellite guaranteeing seven $30,000 packages to the Bahamas.

There is still poker to play before the weekend. Day 1D runs today, Thursday, October 15, at 1:05 p.m. ET in both Venom events.

The Bahamas qualification race has already produced its first winners. Seven packages were awarded last Sunday, October 11, in the opening Paradise Mega.

Halloween Special gives lower-buy-in players something new to try, with entries starting at $5.50. Sunday begins the stack-building phase; the mystery prizes stay hidden until Day 2.

So check more than the afternoon lobby. The final Venom Fever Megas start Sunday morning, before the last Venom flights get underway.

One last Sunday to enter the Dual Venoms

The $5 million guaranteed NLH PKO and $1.5 million guaranteed PLO PKO each cost $2,650 to enter. The PLO guarantee ties ACR Poker’s largest PLO PKO.

Both resume for Day 2 on Monday, October 19, at 1:05 p.m. ET. NLH continues with Day 3 on Tuesday at the same time; both final tables are scheduled for Wednesday, October 21, at 4:05 p.m. ET.

Already qualified? Players who reach Day 2 cannot register for another Day 1 in that same Venom event.

The final Venom Fever weekend

Venom Fever guarantees 587 seats across its full September 29–October 18 run. Those are promotion-wide totals, rather than seats still waiting to be awarded this Sunday.

Saturday Shortcuts return October 17, with freeroll feeders at 10:30 a.m. ET leading toward NLH Megas at 1:30 p.m. ET. Those Megas guarantee three seats at $33, five at $55 and seven at $109.

Sunday’s final Megas begin at 10:05 a.m. ET. NLH players can choose five-seat ($33), 20-seat ($109), 30-seat ($290) or 30-seat ($630) events. PLO has a 10-seat Mega with a $290 buy-in.

Freeroll routes are also available, including Sunday’s path through a $3.15 Super Satellite into the $33 NLH Mega. Choose the qualifier for the Venom format you intend to play.

Halloween starts with chips before bounties

The Halloween Mystery PKOs debut Sunday with a $109 tournament guaranteeing $500,000, a $33 tournament guaranteeing $100,000 and a $5.50 tournament guaranteeing $50,000.

The new format is exclusive to the Winning Poker Network. Play multiple Day 1 flights and combine qualifying stacks for Day 2 on Sunday, November 1, when bounties begin. Day 1 knockouts pay no bounty rewards.

During Day 2, each qualifying knockout reveals a mystery prize. Half is paid immediately; half is added to your visible progressive bounty. An eliminated player’s accumulated progressive bounty follows the same split.

For example, a hypothetical $100 mystery prize plus a $40 accumulated progressive bounty produces $70 paid immediately and $70 added to your bounty. That example explains the split; it is not an advertised prize.

Everyone begins Day 2 with a $0 accumulated progressive bounty. As knockouts build those visible amounts, players can chase portions of prizes that have already been revealed.

Seven more packages to the Bahamas

Sunday’s $1,050 Paradise Mega starts at 3:05 p.m. ET, guaranteeing seven packages worth $30,000 each. It follows the seven awarded in the first Mega last Sunday.

Each package includes the $26,000 Super Main Event buy-in and accommodation at SLS Baha Mar from December 5–18. The $50 million guaranteed WSOP Paradise Super Main Event runs December 10–17. Travel, meals and personal spending are not included.

The Sunday Megas continue through November 22, as part of ACR Poker’s promotion offering 100 packages.

There is also a cheaper route for a later Sunday. The $95 Beast satellite on October 18 starts at 5:05 p.m. ET, guaranteeing 50 seats to the October 25 Mega. Winners are pre-registered for that following Sunday, so it does not feed the October 18 event.
