Americas Cardroom Announces Biggest Venom Ever

Written by Jennifer Newell
Last updated on June 27th, 2021
WPN and ACR Venom It has become the signature tournament of Americas Cardroom and every skin on the Winning Poker Network. Considering its popularity, one might think it has been a part of the ACR tournament scene for many years, but WPN only introduced it in the summer of 2019. And now, just after the two-year anniversary of the first Venom, WPN will offer the biggest iteration of the tournament to date: $10M. This comes little more than one month after the Venom PKO wrapped with a prize pool that exceeded its guarantee by more than $2M.

Venom VII to Top All Others

Every time the WPN hosted a Venom tournament, the prize pool exceeded the guarantee…by quite significant numbers. And that continued to happen even when the powers-that-be increased the guarantee. Of course, the pandemic-filled year of 2020 brought an increase in players in general, but the Venom benefited. Now, WPN looks to keep that momentum going. The past editions of this record-breaking tournament were:
-Venom 1 (July 2019):  $5M GTD <$6,382,500 prize pool -Venom 2 (December 2019):  $6M GTD <$5,740,000 prize pool -Venom 3 (July/August 2020):  $7M GTD < $9,680,000 prize pool -Venom 4 (October 2020):  PKO edition $5M GTD<$6,777,500 prize pool -Venom 5 (January/February 2021):  $8M GTD<$9,435,000 prize pool -Venom 6 (April/May 2021):  PKO edition $5M GTD<$7,160,000 prize pool
The upcoming Venom will surpass all of those numbers. WPN set the guarantee at $10M. The winner and the runner-up will take at least $1M each.

How to Participate

The tournament schedule is out and is as follows:
-Friday, July 23:  Day 1A -Sunday, July 25:  Day 1B -Friday, July 30:  Day 1C -Sunday, August 1:  Day 1D -Monday, August 2:  Day 2 (approximately 11 hours of play) -Tuesday, August 3:  Day 3 (playdown to final table) -Wednesday, August 4:  Day 4 (final table playdown to winner)
Each day of play through Day 3 begins at 1pm ET, with the only exception being the final table, which will start at 5pm ET on August 4. Players will be able to play more than one starting flight, understanding that the buy-in is $2,650 ($2,500 + $150) and is the same for any subsequent flights. Should a person finish more than one flight with a stack of chips, they will only be able to take the largest one to Day 2. The smaller stack(s) will be forfeited. Players who win more than one ticket to the Venom via satellites and qualifiers may sell secondary tickets but not the original one. They can contact tickettrade – at – winningpokernetwork.com to arrange a sale. On the other hand, players can save a Venom ticket for the next edition of the tournament, which may happen later in 2021. There are unlimited reentries allowed. Players will start with 300K chips, and blinds will start at 800/1,600 with a 240 ante. Blind levels will be 20 minutes long, and there will be a five-minute break every hour. ACR is making it possible for players to qualify and win a seat for free. ACR offers regular freerolls. In addition, the Venom Blitz Steps regime allows players to start the steps program at just $0.11. However, they can enter the process at any level. And those completing the ninth level will receive that $2,650 Venom seat. The biggest mega satellite is already set up for June 27 for just $95. That will guarantee 20 Venom seats. Thus far, there are 380 players registered. https://twitter.com/ACR_POKER/status/1406756284175732741?s=20
