More than 85% of the 1,500 guaranteed Venom Fever seats were still available. The seats are worth $2,650 each and can be used to qualify for the Dual Mystery Bounty Venom championship events, which include a $12 million no-limit hold’em event and a $3 million pot-limit Omaha event.
The full series spans 21 days from Aug. 13 to Sept. 2 and is being billed as the largest Dual Mystery Bounty Venom festival to date. It includes a record eight Day 1 flights, and players who qualify more than once can combine their stacks for Day 2. The bounty phase begins on Day 2, after every qualifier has already locked up a cash finish, with the NLH event carrying a top bounty of $500,000 and the PLO event a top bounty of $250,000.
Once the knockouts begin, every elimination will reveal a mystery bounty worth at least $5,000. The broader schedule also adds more than $10 million in guaranteed Venom Specials beginning Aug. 17.
Venom Fever is a satellite network for that festival. Buy-ins start at $0 and the routes include Direct Satellites, Mega Satellites, Beast tournaments, Venom Madness, Survivor Flips and multi-flight qualifiers. One weekend guarantees 60 seats across three Mega Satellites and one Beast Tournament, while Spin to Get In starts at $0.01.
A separate Poison Path promotion starts at $0.80 and runs through four Survivor Flip stages. Players who complete all four stages win a $2,650 Venom ticket, and the first 10 verified finishers through the ACR Community Discord promotion get a second ticket.
Direct Satellites are scheduled for Aug. 3 with $109 and $290 buy-ins.
