ACR Poker’s Halloween Sunday Crowns Mystery PKO Winners and Sends Seven More Players to Paradise

Three Halloween events finish with $836,930 in combined prize pools, while the WSOP Paradise Mega awards $210,000 in packages with a $38,000 overlay.

The Halloween bounty hunt is over, and the final numbers are bigger than advertised. ACR Poker’s three Halloween Mystery PKOs wrapped up on Sunday, November 1, turning $650,000 in combined guarantees into $836,930 in prize pools.

The Halloween Specials crowned champions at all three buy-ins, with bounty money giving the results an extra twist. The WSOP Paradise Mega added seven more $30,000 package winners, while the regular Sunday schedule produced a six-figure payday in the High Roller.

Halloween finishes with more than 30000 entries

Across the three Halloween events, players recorded 30,454 entries, including repeat entries across the starting flights. All three tournaments beat their guarantees, finishing $186,930 above the combined advertised total.

Tournament Entries and Prize Pools
Buy-in	Guarantee	Entries	Prize Pool
$109	$500,000	5,623	$562,300
$33	$100,000	6,019	$180,570
$5.50	$50,000	18,812	$94,060

The $5.50 tournament came closest to doubling its guarantee, building a $94,060 prize pool against $50,000 advertised. Each event divided its total prize pool equally between regular payouts and bounties.

A title and the biggest payday can be different things

Ilvoirien won the $109 event, earning approximately $55,642 from $39,817 in regular prize money and $15,825 in bounties. A final-table deal changed the regular payouts, with runner-up Soxfan83 collecting approximately $55,261 including bounties.

Third-place finisher 777bob1k collected even more: approximately $75,325, made up of $36,810 in regular prize money and $38,516 in bounties. Among the top three finishers, the biggest total belonged to the player who finished third.

That is the appeal of Mystery PKO. Half of each revealed mystery prize is paid immediately, while the other half goes onto the eliminator’s progressive bounty. An opponent’s accumulated progressive bounty also splits 50/50 when they are knocked out, keeping money in play on players’ heads.

In the $33 event, DasZiel took the title and approximately $27,604, combining $15,970 in regular prize money with $11,634 in bounties. GrowBluffs finished second for approximately $22,779 including bounties.

The $5.50 event went to Xnumber1CHIPSX, whose $6,535 regular payout and $6,295 in bounties produced approximately $12,830 in total. Runner-up PotatoAllin collected approximately $5,359 including bounties.

Seven more Paradise packages and another overlay

The $1,050 WSOP Paradise Mega drew 172 entries and awarded all seven $30,000 packages. With $1,000 from each entry going toward the prizes, the field generated $172,000 against $210,000 in package value. ACR Poker covered the $38,000 shortfall.

The overlay continued a run of added value in the weekly Megas. The October 11 and October 18 editions each recorded more than $50,000 in overlay, followed by $20,000 on October 25. Sunday’s field again competed for the full package guarantee despite entry contributions falling short.
