Major online poker platform, Americas Cardroom, introduces a mammoth $12.5 million guarantee tournament to the spotlight!
Americas Cardroom, now rebranded as ACR Poker, has recently announced an exciting series of tournaments - the Venom. This highly anticipated event, set to take place in August 2025, promises unmatched poker action and massive winnings.
In a move to make the Venom accessible to players of all skill levels and bankrolls, buy-ins for the All-in of Fold steps and Sit & Go steps start at just $1. The series offers multiple opportunities for players to qualify, with Mega Satellites starting on 19th March and offering 668 seats, and Direct Satellites To Venom starting on 24th March with 781 seats up for grabs.
The Venom tournament series runs from Sunday, August 10, 2025, through Tuesday, August 26, 2025. Each event has a buy-in of $2,650, and multiple Day 1 starting flights each Sunday and Thursday allow players to enter several times and combine chip stacks before advancing to Day 2. All players making Day 2 are guaranteed to be in the money.
The final table is scheduled for Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at 4:05 pm ET. The series features two main events: a No-Limit Hold'em (NLH) event with at least $8 million guaranteed, and a Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) event with a $2 million guarantee. Last Venom's first-place NLH prize exceeded $1.5 million, and PLO first place was over $430,000.
The tournaments also feature top knockout bounty prizes. For a single elimination in the NLH Venom, $500,000 is available, while the PLO event offers $200,000. Every knockout guarantees a minimum bounty payout of $5,000.
In addition to the main events, ACR Poker has added a new bonus flight during the series, providing players with an additional chance to qualify for the Day 2 stage and vie for the top prizes.
Besides the Dual Venom, ACR also offers daily Mystery Bounty tournaments that continue the bounty prize excitement throughout the month. Players can find special ways to win a seat into the $12.5 Million GTD Venom by checking the daily schedule.
For those who prefer a more affordable route, the All-in of Fold steps offer a six-step journey to claim a $2,650 Venom ticket, played in a four-handed format. The Sit & Go Steps also have an 8-max format with four progressive steps to success.
Moreover, the Beast Tournament offers chances to win guaranteed seats on 14th and 21st April. Winners of the Beast Tournament on dates other than these will be pre-registered for Day 1A of the $12.5 Million GTD Venom on 14th April. The Beast Tournament comes with a $95 buy-in for 250 seats guaranteed.
To add more excitement, ACR Poker is set to launch Six Plus Hold'em, a poker variation, in collaboration with PokerStars. And for those on a tight budget, Spin to win offers a chance to grab a Venom seat for just a penny.
In conclusion, the August 2025 ACR Poker Venom series is a highly anticipated set of dual tournaments with enormous guaranteed prize pools, large knockout bounty prizes, multiple starting days, and a new bonus flight added recently to increase players’ opportunities.
