Americas Cardroom Pros in Action On and Off the Tables for $6.5M Dual Venoms

Americas Cardroom enters the last starting day of the $6.5 million guaranteed Dual Venom PKOs on October 18. Day 1E of the $5 million guaranteed No-Limit Hold’em Venom PKO and $1.5 million guaranteed Pot-Limit Omaha Venom PKO begins at 1:05pm ET. Both carry $2,650 direct buy-ins, and Sunday’s fifth flights are the final chance to make Day 2.

Sunday’s final flights will have an audience beyond the tables. ACR Pro Drew Gonzalez will host eight hours of coverage on the official Kick channel, also accessible through the homepage. Viewers can discuss key hands and knockout bounties in Kick’s community chat.

ACR Stormers offer a player’s-eye view: they will compete in the Dual Venoms and stream their own sessions on Twitch, following individual decisions and bounty opportunities.

The qualified Pros already have stacks to defend. Chance Kornuth leads the ACR Pros through to PLO Day 2 with 458 big blinds; Chris ’Big Huni’ Hunichen has 173. Chris Moorman has 25 big blinds in NLH. Bounties have been available from Day 1 in both events.

Venom Fever provides qualifying routes through October 18, guaranteeing 587 seats worth $2,650 each over the September 29–October 18 promotion. Options include Direct and Mega Satellites, freeroll feeders and Survivor Flips Step Satellites starting at $0.80.

In the Venom Vault, eligible players received a free key at launch, and each key reveals a guaranteed prize. The promotion runs through October 18, with Survivor Flip Step tickets and $2,650 Venom seats among the prizes. Players can earn or buy additional keys.

Sunday is also one of six Venom Specials dates, with 12 events on October 18. The Specials carry more than $10 million in guarantees from October 4 through 19, separate from the Dual Venoms. Sunday highlights include a $500,000 GTD event with a $1,050 buy-in at 1:05pm ET and a $50,000 GTD PKO with a $33 buy-in at 1:30pm ET.

Both Venoms reach Day 2 on Monday, October 19 at 1:05pm ET. NLH Day 3 follows Tuesday, October 20, before the two final tables on Wednesday, October 21.

Players can review remaining qualification paths and the complete schedule on the Dual Venom PKO page.
