Deltoid88 Takes Home $865,870 as ACR Pro Chance Kornuth Makes Both Final Tables in ACR Poker's $15M Dual Venoms

ImWinninAnyway wins the PLO title and collects $365,192 overall, LavenderBrown pulls the $500,000 top NLH Mystery Bounty, and the two events draw 6,030 entries with $15.095 million in final prize pools.

Deltoid88 collected the biggest total score of ACR Poker’s biggest-ever Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms, taking the NLH title and $865,869.53 when regular prize money and bounties are combined. The same final session produced another standout result: ACR Pro Chance Kornuth made both final tables, finishing sixth in PLO and seventh in NLH.

The $12 million NLH and $3 million PLO Venoms drew 6,030 entries and paid $15.095 million in final prize pools and 686 Mystery Bounties. The NLH event needed only a $20,000 overlay to reach its guarantee, while PLO cleared its guarantee by $95,000. After the final Day 1 flights, the Dual Venoms ultimately delivered two champions, two top bounties worth a combined $750,000 and a pair of final tables that players can revisit in the free ACR FT Replayer.

The Numbers That Closed Out the Dual Venoms

Both events finished at or very near their guarantees: the NLH Venom needed just a $20,000 overlay, while the PLO Venom finished $95,000 above its $3 million guarantee.

The Numbers That Closed Out the Dual Venoms
Event	Entries	Final Prize Pool	Overlay	Bounties Paid
NLH Mystery Bounty Venom	4,792	$12,000,000	$20,000	543
PLO Mystery Bounty Venom	1,238	$3,095,000	$0	143
Combined	6,030	$15,095,000	$20,000	686

The NLH field generated $11.98 million from 4,792 entries, leaving the event eight entries short of fully covering the $12 million guarantee. ACR Poker supplied the remaining $20,000. PLO needed no help: 1,238 entries generated the full $3.095 million prize pool.

Deltoid88 Turns a Heads-Up Deal Into the Biggest Score

The NLH title came down to Deltoid88 and Brazilian pro Ivan Limeira, playing as chickenpastry. A heads-up deal changed the top two regular payouts, and Deltoid88 finished with $799,521.82 in regular prize money plus $66,347.71 in bounties. That made $865,869.53 in total, the biggest overall haul of either Venom.

chickenpastry earned $730,602.11 from the regular prize pool and another $48,552.30 in bounties for $779,154.41 overall. The final table also included ACR Pros Chance Kornuth and Chris Moorman, with Kornuth finishing seventh and Moorman ninth.

348th Place, More Than Half a Million Dollars

The largest single Mystery Bounty across the two Venoms did not belong to a final-table player. LavenderBrown finished 348th in the NLH Venom but found the $500,000 top Mystery Bounty. With another $5,000 in bounty winnings and $3,220.48 from the regular prize pool, the run returned $508,220.48 overall.

The PLO top bounty went to R88P, who finished 13th with $265,000 in total bounty winnings and $10,840.23 from the regular prize pool. The biggest piece of that bounty total was the $250,000 top Mystery Bounty. There was an extra twist: R88P had intended to enter the NLH Venom, registered for PLO by mistake and then turned the wrong tournament into a $275,840.23 result.

Those two hits sat at the top of 686 Mystery Bounties paid across the Dual Venoms, with 543 awarded in NLH and 143 in PLO.

ImWinninAnyway Wins the PLO Venom

The four-card side of the Dual Venoms beat its guarantee before the final table even began. After 1,238 entries built a $3,095,000 prize pool, ImWinninAnyway finished the job and claimed the title.

First place paid $290,042.14 from the regular prize pool, and $75,150 in bounty winnings pushed the champion’s total to $365,192.14. Runner-up turov1 collected $252,806.95 overall, while Walruspuss finished third with $213,654.07.

ACR Pro Chance Kornuth Made Both Final Tables

ACR Pro Chance Kornuth had the most unusual schedule of anyone left on the final day. Playing on ACR Poker as LawyerDad68, he reached the final table of both Venoms, one in No-Limit Hold’em and one in Pot-Limit Omaha.

Kornuth finished sixth in PLO for $47,339.68 in regular prize money plus $10,000 in bounties, then added a seventh-place NLH finish worth $126,395.20 plus $5,000 in bounties. His combined Dual Venom return was $188,734.88.

Chris Moorman joined him at the NLH final table and finished ninth for $71,171.28 total. Kornuth’s double final table remained the standout ACR Poker team performance across the two events.

How the ACR Poker Crew Finished

The final tables were only part of the ACR Poker Pro and Stormer results. Alex Foxen had one of the biggest bounty-heavy runs outside the PLO final table, finishing 64th while collecting $95,100 in bounties.

How the ACR Poker Crew Finished
Player	NLH Result	PLO Result
Chance Kornuth	7th: $126,395.20 + $5,000 bounties	6th: $47,339.68 + $10,000 bounties
Chris Moorman	9th: $66,171.28 + $5,000 bounties	—
Alex Foxen	—	64th: $3,724.41 + $95,100 bounties
Chris Moneymaker	69th: $10,051.36 + $69,950 bounties	96th: $2,840.18 + $5,000 bounties
Chris Hunichen	—	114th: $2,500 regular prize
Rob Kuhn	172nd: $4,839.28 regular prize	—
Ana Marquez	374th: $3,220.48 regular prize	—

Moneymaker’s two cashes were worth $87,841.54 combined when regular prize money and listed bounty winnings are added together. Foxen’s PLO result came to $98,824.41 overall, almost all of it from bounties.

The Venoms Are Done. The Replays Are Not.

The final numbers capture why Mystery Bounty tournaments can produce such different kinds of winners. Deltoid88 earned the biggest total score and the NLH title. ImWinninAnyway won the PLO event. LavenderBrown left in 348th place with more than half a million dollars. R88P turned an accidental registration into a quarter-million-dollar top bounty. And Kornuth managed to make both final tables.

The completed final tables can be studied hand by hand through the ACR FT Replayer, with every player’s hole cards revealed. And for players already looking at the next big schedule, OSS XL begins September 6 with $50 million+ in guarantees.
