ACR Poker recently concluded its Mystery Bounty Venom series, setting new benchmarks in the popular bounty format and hosting the largest pot-limit Omaha tournaments in the site’s history. The series was a resounding success, with multiple tournaments surpassing guarantees and more than $10 million awarded to players.

The crown jewel of the series was the $8 million guaranteed Mystery Bounty Venom main event, which drew an impressive 3,234 entries, generating an $8.1 million prize pool. Brazilian poker pro Ivan “chickenpastry” Limeira emerged victorious, clinching the title and $617,333 after defeating Hungary’s “im_so_sh0rt” in the final heads-up battle.

“I’m so grateful and relieved that all the hard work actually paid off,” Limeira said after his victory. “Winning big prizes has always been my dream, and the Mystery Bounty format makes the experience even more thrilling.”

Other Series Highlights

The series had its fair share of excitement beyond the main event. Poker coach and WSOP bracelet winner Faraz “The-Toilet 0” Jaka hit the top bounty prize of $500,000 in his first Mystery Bounty event. Other major bounty winners included “provideordivide” ($158,750) and “!Alexyo” ($153,750). Jaka shared his joy on Twitter, joking that his wife’s birthday must have brought him luck.

ACR Pros, including Chris Moneymaker, Drew Gonzalez, Jon Pardy, and Michael Loncar, also took part in the action. Moneymaker finished 302nd, securing $3,039, and along with Pardy, streamed their Day 2 play on ACR’s Twitch channel, offering fans a live look at the competition.

In another milestone, ACR hosted its largest PLO tournament ever, which surpassed its $2 million guarantee with 914 entries and a total prize pool of $2.3 million. High-stakes pro Tom Dwan joined the field, but it was “omahafyrarolls” who ultimately claimed the first-place prize of $471,378.

“It was great to see such a solid turnout and a fun atmosphere in the dual Venom tourneys,” Moneymaker said. “Congrats to all the winners and those who hit those life-changing bounties.”

The action continues in September with ACR’s $5 million guaranteed Supersized Tourney Week, leading into the $40 million guaranteed Online Super Series XL starting on Sept. 8.
