ACR Poker said more than 85% of the 1,500 guaranteed Venom Fever seats were still available. The promotion begins on Aug. 13 with the Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms.
The headline package guarantees $15 million across two championship events. The no-limit hold’em Mystery Bounty Venom carries $12 million in guarantees, while the pot-limit Omaha Mystery Bounty Venom carries $3 million.
Each championship event has a $2,650 buy-in. In the no-limit hold’em event, the top mystery bounty is $500,000. In the pot-limit Omaha event, the top mystery bounty is $250,000.
The format gives every player who reaches Day 2 a cash return before the mystery bounties come into play. Players who qualify more than once can combine their stacks for Day 2, and the festival features a record eight Day 1 flights.
Venom Fever offers ACR Poker’s most expansive Venom satellite schedule yet, with buy-ins starting at $0 in the cheapest routes. The schedule also includes Direct Satellites, Mega Satellites, Beast tournaments, Venom Madness events, Survivor Flips and multi-flight qualifiers.
Among the lower-cost paths, Survivor Flips start at $0.80 and Spin to Get In starts at $0.01. The Venom Madness route costs $16.50, with weekly Sunday Day 2 finals at 4:05pm ET and 10 seats guaranteed.
ACR also said a recent weekend guaranteed 60 Venom seats across three Mega Satellites and one Beast Tournament, including a $55 Mega Satellite on July 25 that guaranteed five seats, a $290 Mega Satellite on July 26 that guaranteed 20 seats, a $109 Mega Satellite on July 26 that guaranteed 10 seats and a $95 Beast Tournament that guaranteed 25 seats.
Poison Path is another route in the mix. The four-stage Survivor Flip promotion starts at $0.80, awards a $2,650 Venom ticket to players who clear all four stages and gives the first 10 verified finishers a second ticket. Direct Satellites are due on Aug. 3, with $109 and $290 buy-ins.
