The PLO champion is projected to win a top prize of $400,000, and players have the option to enter multiple Day 1s to build their stack heading into Day 2.
“We’ve all dreamed of that deep run in a big tourney. The best part about the Venom is anyone can take that shot,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “Whether you buy-in directly or satellite in for a few bucks, NLH and PLO players are in for huge prize pools, great structure, and big poker action.”
For players still looking to lock in their Venom entry, ACR Poker is awarding over 1,000 seats through Venom Fever Satellites, with qualifiers starting at $0.
