The Winning Poker Network is riding a bit of a high these days. ACR Poker just hosted two very successful new versions of its signature Venom tournament, and there’s so much on tap that you might need a spreadsheet to track it all.
As for those Venom tournaments, there were two new ones that ran in August. Both offered the traditional $2,650 buy-in and several starting flights over the course of several weeks, and ACR ran many satellites to give players opportunities to qualify on the cheap. In the end, the numbers were good, as both events surpassed their prize pool guarantees. Venom PLO ($2M GTD) Total entries: 914
Total prize pool: $2,332,500
Winner: omahafyrarolls ($471,378)
Venom Mystery Bounty ($8M GTD) Total entries: 3,234
Total prize pool: $8,085,000
Winner: chickenpastry ($572,333 + $45K in bounties)
With those events in the books, it was time for ACR and its WPN sister sites to move on to the next promotions. Supersized Tourney Week
After competing in the Venom, poker players on ACR Poker were ready for more tournaments. That prompted the poker operator to offer something called the Supersized Tourney Week.From August 25 through September 3, there are 20 regular tournaments supersized to bump the cumulative guarantee to $5M. (Actually, of the 20 events, there were 18 that were supersized and two new ones added.)The schedule for this week is impressive and listed as follows, complete with the new tournaments highlighted below: Sun, Aug 25: $630 Sunday NLHE High Roller ($750K GTD) Aug 25-26: $1,050 Sunday Banana 2-Day NLHE ($500K GTD) Sun, Aug 25: $215 NLHE ($250K GTD) Mon, Aug 26: $630 NLHE ($250K GTD) Mon, Aug 26: $215 NLHE ($150K GTD) Mon, Aug 26: $109 NLHE ($100K GTD) Mon, Aug 26: $1,050 NLHE PKO ($100K GTD) Tues, Aug 27: $1,050 (NEW) NLHE Turbo ($100K GTD) Tues, Aug 27: $215 NLHE PKO Turbo ($50K GTD) Sun, Sept 1: $630 Sunday NLHE High Roller ($750K GTD) Sun, Sept 1: $215 NLHE PKO ($300K GTD) Sun, Sept 1: $66 NLHE PKO ($150K GTD) Sun, Sept 1: $109 Sunday Moneymaker NLHE ($400K GTD) […]
