Americas Cardroom launched the April 2026 Dual Venom on April 12. Six Day 1 flights run through April 26 with Day 2 on April 27 and the final table on April 28. Every player who reaches Day 2 is guaranteed a cash payout before a hand is dealt.
Venom Series 2026 – The Numbers
The current ACR Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms include two massive tournaments:
January 2026 ran the identical format and closed at $11.27M – $1.27M over guarantee.
| Details | NLH Venom | PLO Venom |
|---|---|---|
| Guarantee | $8,000,000 | $2,000,000.00 |
| Buy-in | $2,650 | $2,650 |
| Top bounty | $500,000 | $200,000 |
| Min bounty | $5,000.00 | $5,000 |
How ACR Mystery Bounty Works Here
Day 1 is straightforward deepstack poker. No bounties, no envelopes, just chips. The bounty pool activates the moment Day 2 begins. Every elimination from that point draws a random envelope worth anywhere from $5,000 to $500,000 in the NLH event. Nobody at the table knows what any envelope contains until it is opened.
In January 2026 the runner-up drew the two largest envelopes in the pool and earned the champion by more than $500,000.
Qualifiers Start From $0
Six routes to a Day 1 seat, two of them free:
| Route | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Freerolls | $0 | Daily freerolls in the Venom Fever lobby |
| Poison Path | $1 | Four-step Survivor Flip ladder to a $2,650 seat |
| Venom Madness | $17 | Multi-flight format |
| Direct Satellite | $33+ | 352 seats guaranteed across NLH and PLO |
| Beast Tournament | $95.00 | Sundays only via $11 super-sat or leaderboard |
| Direct Buy-in | $2,650 | Straight to any Day 1 flight |
- Venom Vault: Every player gets one free key on April 6. Prizes range from Survivor Flip step tickets up to a Golden Ticket worth a full $2,650 entry. Earn additional keys for free by playing 25 raked hands per day (3 keys), completing Survivor Flips, or running five straight days of real-money play. Keys expire April 27.
- New players: First deposit of $25 or more unlocks 7 free Vault keys over three days plus a 100% Welcome Bonus up to $2,000.
One Strategic Note Worth Knowing
Multi-entry is permitted across all six Day 1 flights. Surviving stacks from separate flights combine automatically before Day 2. Players who qualify cheaply via satellites and survive two or three flights can arrive at Day 2 with a stack significantly above average. It is the single biggest edge available to a player who cannot or does not want to fire the direct $2,650 buy-in.
Day 1 flights close April 26. Day 2 is Monday April 27 at 1:05 PM ET. Every seat at that table is already in the money. Start your journey today on ACR Poker.
