News Sunday Recap: Final Flights Draw Crowds to Dual Venoms Americas Cardroom August 25, 2025 Yesterday was huge at ACR Poker as players piled into the final Day 1 flights of our Dual Venoms. The $8 Million GTD NLH and $2 Million GTD PLO Mystery Bounty were front and center, but they weren’t the only action in town. Players also battled in Venom Specials and our signature Sunday tourneys, making it a packed day across the board. Read about it all in our August 24th Sunday Recap. Phil’s Thrill Sunday’s Phil’s Thrill featured 54 entries, which means our weekly $10,300 buy-in event had an impressive $540,000 prize pool. Named for our CEO—who regularly participates and finished 12th this week—this high-stakes tourney never disappoints.
