The Paradise Mega drew 190 entries, TheHedonist and krissyb24! led the cash results, and Halloween flights continue ahead of the November 1 bounty phase.

Seven players secured $30,000 Bahamas packages on ACR Poker on Sunday, October 25, turning a $1,050 Mega Satellite into a December date with the $50 million guaranteed WSOP Paradise Super Main Event. The Mega drew 190 entries and awarded $210,000 in package value.

The Sunday cash tournaments delivered big returns too, with TheHedonist collecting $98,933.86 in the High Roller and krissyb24! winning $84,373.48 in the Sunday Banana. Meanwhile, the Halloween Mystery PKOs continue building toward November 1, when the bounty phase begins across three events with $650,000 guaranteed.

Seven players book their shot at Paradise

The package winners were Ant1killeR, GraphUpGuy, FlyingStyle, one_hundred_eyes, vamoosss, GangBaaangBob and Wahoo_son. Each earned a package containing a $26,000 Super Main Event entry and accommodation at SLS Baha Mar from December 5–18.

The $50 million guaranteed Super Main Event runs December 10–17. Travel, meals and personal spending remain the winners’ responsibility, with the hotel provided on a room-only basis. The biggest piece of the December poker budget, however, is already handled.

Another seven packages next Sunday

Players still chasing the Bahamas have another opportunity on Sunday, November 1, at 3:05 p.m. ET. The next $1,050 Mega again guarantees seven $30,000 packages, with weekly Megas continuing through November 22.

The $95 Beast satellites provide a lower-cost route into the Megas. Winners are pre-registered for the following Sunday’s Mega, where they then compete for the packages. Check the feeder’s destination before registering.

The broader promotion offers 100 packages. The November 8 and November 15 Megas each guarantee seven, followed by eight packages on November 22.

TheHedonist leads the High Roller after a deal

The $630 Sunday High Roller attracted 962 entries, taking its prize pool to $577,200 against a $500,000 guarantee. A final-table deal changed the top payouts: TheHedonist finished first for $98,933.86, while AKA3NEY took second for $94,591.39.

In the $1,050 Sunday Banana, krissyb24! topped 378 entries to collect $84,373.48. The event beat its $300,000 guarantee to reach $378,000, with runner-up YoshiSuperstar earning $61,650.28.

The $109 Sunday Moneymaker also ended with a final-table deal. Bitencourth00 finished first for $42,471.56, narrowly ahead of Sweat1nBullets, who received $42,097.54. The tournament drew 2,945 entries and paid out its $300,000 guarantee.

The $215 Sunday Special drew 788 entries and grew beyond its $150,000 guarantee to $157,600. V4ns won $31,753.33, with ColeG second for $23,111.25.

Halloween stacks grow as the bounty phase approaches

The Halloween fields still have time to grow. As of Monday morning, October 26, the $109 event had 191 players through, the $33 event had 171, and the $5.50 event had 755. Starting flights continue ahead of Day 2 on Sunday, November 1.

There are familiar names in those fields. ACR Pro Rob Kuhn sat ninth in the $109 event with 120,160 chips. Jeff Boski was second in the $33 event with 172,635, and fourth in the $5.50 event with 380,429. Those standings can change as more players qualify and existing qualifiers add chips.

Players can enter multiple flights and combine their qualifying stacks for Day 2. The three guarantees remain $500,000 at $109, $100,000 at $33 and $50,000 at $5.50.

Bounties begin on Day 2. In Mystery PKO, a format exclusive to the Winning Poker Network, half of each revealed mystery prize is paid immediately and half is added to the eliminator’s visible progressive bounty. Any accumulated progressive bounty on the eliminated player gets the same 50/50 split.

That means a big mystery prize can leave another big target at the table. Take the cash, add to your own bounty, and expect the players around you to notice.

Sunday has another destination

The next Sunday session brings the Halloween bounty phase and another seven-package Paradise Mega. There is still time to build a Halloween stack or find a route into the Bahamas satellite. Check the lobby for the remaining flights and start times, then choose the prize you want to chase.
