ACR Poker $66 Mystery Bounty Crosses 1,200 Entries as $1 Million Guarantee Draws Mass Fields

The tournament’s primary attraction lies in its extreme return-on-investment profile. Carrying a modest $66 buy-in, the event pairs a seven-figure baseline guarantee with a six-figure top bounty prize once the field advances to the knockout phase.

• Guaranteed Prize Pool: $1,000,000

• Top Individual Bounty: $100,000

• Current Field Size: 1,220 entries (and counting)

• Remaining Flight Volume: 200+ Day 1 flights

• Day 2 Resumption: Monday, August 17, 2026

Every player who navigates through their respective Day 1 flight advances to Day 2 on August 17. At that point, the Mystery Bounty format activates: every knock-out delivered uncovers a secret cash prize, headlined by the single $100,000 top envelope.

This multi-flight event serves as the central pillar for ACR Poker’s broader Run Up Series, an expansive five-week festival featuring 163 total events and over $10,000,000 in collective guarantees through August 17.

To reward consistent volume across the 163-event schedule, ACR Poker is fully funding its largest leaderboard promotion to date. 

The $100,000 race is split equally into High and Low divisions, with the top 25 performers in each tier earning cash payouts, tournament tickets, and high-value seats to upcoming Venom events.

Points earned on the Run Up Series leaderboard feed directly into ACR Poker’s premier flagship property: the Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms. Launching August 13, 2026, the series carries a record-setting $15,000,000 in combined guarantees.

• No-Limit Hold'em Venom: $2,650 buy-in | $12,000,000 Guaranteed | $500,000 Top Bounty

• Pot-Limit Omaha Venom: $2,650 buy-in | $3,000,000 Guaranteed | $250,000 Top Bounty

• Bounty Parameters: Minimum envelope value of $5,000; all Day 2 qualifiers are automatically in the money.

Players seeking entry into the $2,650 Venoms can utilize the ongoing Venom Fever satellite system, which guarantees 1,500 total seats with step qualifiers starting from $0.

Simultaneously, ACR Poker is hosting its $2.5 Million Guaranteed 25th Anniversary Tournament. Carrying a $250 buy-in across 21 Day 1 flights, the event uses a unique cumulative stack format—allowing players who qualify through multiple starting flights to combine their chip bags for Day 2.
