ACR Poker's $5 Million Venom PKO returns

Poker players whose New Year's Resolution was to win a lot of money are heading to ACR Poker. The popular worldwide poker site is returning its $5 Million GTD Venom PKO tourney starting Thursday, 18 January.

"Our Venom PKO is well known as the biggest Progressive Knockout tourney in online poker," stated ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. "It has beaten its $5 Million guarantee in all seven previous editions, and we expect it to happen again."

In the Venom PKO, players take part in some of the biggest hands of their life with single bounties worth tens of thousands of dollars. It last ran just a few months ago in October, with the winner pocketing $371,000 plus a whopping $312,000 in bounty money.

The $5 Million Venom PKO costs $2,650 to get into, but players can qualify for far less via Venom Fever. Those satellites are guaranteeing 650 seats, with direct buy-ins beginning at $33 and Mega Satellites that start at $0 by following the daily path. There are also other ways to qualify like Step Tournaments which start at 11 cents.

Moneymaker went on to note that the popular Venom Holdem tourney, which typically comes with a $10 Million guarantee, will return in the next few months.
