$12.5m is a big chunk ‘o change to guarantee but, as unbelievable as it seems, the prizepool in ACR’s Venom tournament is on course to ultimately surpass that figure.
Day 1A took place on April 14, and the results so far are not pointing to an overlay. 1,689 players stumped up the $2,650 entry, making it the biggest Day 1 in ACR Poker history.
Four more Day 1s are scheduled before Day 2 begins on April 29 - see the dates below - but the tournament is already well on its way to the 5,000 players needed to cover the guarantee.
