Flagship online poker tournaments return in January 2026 with massive prizes and low-cost satellites
-- Americas Cardroom, one of the world’s leading online poker platforms, is starting 2026 in dominant fashion with the return of its Dual Mystery Bounty Venom tournaments, featuring a combined $10 million in guaranteed prize pools. Running January 18th through February 3rd, the series includes an $8M GTD No-Limit Hold’em and a $2M GTD Pot-Limit Omaha event.
The $2,650 buy-in Venoms deliver high-stakes online poker action with mystery bounty prizes reaching extraordinary levels. Players in the NLH event can land a single knockout worth up to $500,000, while the PLO tournament offers a top mystery bounty of $200,000. Every elimination bounty guarantees at least $5,000.
With five Day 1 flights available, players can enter multiple times and combine stacks ahead of Day 2 on Monday, February 2nd at 1:05 pm ET, where all remaining competitors are already in the money. The Final Tables for both poker tournaments will crown Venom champions on Tuesday, February 3rd at 4:05 pm ET.
Leading up to the events, Americas Cardroom is running its Venom Fever satellite schedule beginning January 12th. Players can qualify through Direct, Mega and Beast Satellites, with hundreds of guaranteed seats available from as little as $0.
“Starting 2026 with two Venoms at once is huge for players,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “Between the mystery bounties, massive guarantees, and satellites that let anyone get in, this is exactly the kind of online poker experience players look forward to.”
The previous Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms exceeded expectations, with the NLH event drawing 3,392 entries for an $8.48M prize pool and the PLO generating over $2.07M from 830 entries.
