Tomorrow, both of the Venom tournaments on ACR Poker will play down to a winner.
With a combined guarantee of $15M across the dual no-limit hold'em and pot-limit Omaha events, both events drew large fields. While the PLO Venom managed to surpass its $3M guarantee with 1,238 entrants and a $3,095,000 total prize pool, the NLH Venom failed to beat its $12M guarantee with a field of 4,792 runners.
When the action kicks off on Wednesday, ACR Poker Team Pros Chance Kornuth and Chris Moorman will both be amongst the final nine in the NLH Venom.
And, in even more incredible development, Kornuth will also contend for the PLO Venom crown as one of seven remaining players.
The NLH Venom returns to action at the 1M/2M blind level while the PLO Venom comes back to the 700K/1.4M blind level.
The ACR Poker Twitch channel will livestream all of the action starting at 4:30pm ET, with commentary from Team Pro Rob Kuhn.

Kornuth and Moorman ready to battle
The four-card final table is familiar territory for Kornuth. Back in April, before signing on with the site, he had to settle for a runner-up finish in the PLO Venom – cashing for $157,924, plus $25,000 in bounties.
Tomorrow he's got the added task of battling in the NLH Venom, but with it comes the potential for a $1.2M payday.
Moorman has his eyes on the prize as well as he makes his first Venom final table appearance.
As one of the highest earning online poker players of all time, Moorman has already solidified himself as one of the greats in the virtual streets – and a win in the Venom would only add to that claim.
