$25 Million Record-Breaking PKO Super Series Kicks Off on ACR

Second PKO Series Breaks Online Record

For the second series running ACR is going to break the record for the biggest progressive knockout tournament series ever seen in online poker. Not only is the Venom PKO the biggest single event but the entire series will be smashing the record for PKO festivals with its $25 million guarantee. This is going to be one hell of a month of poker.

In the Venom PKO that starts today players need to prepare themselves for the prospect of picking up tens of thousands of dollars for each elimination when play approaches the end of the event.

If you like the sound of that then head over to the satellite section and jump straight into the action. There are 658 seats guaranteed for the $2,650 buy-in tournament; each going for only $32. Fancy becoming a millionaire after investing such a small sum?

You have until the end of next week to fight for your entry. Play on the final starting flight Day 1D kicks off on Sunday May 9, when you then either buy-in for the full amount or sit back and wait for the next series.

$25 Million Guaranteed in the PKOSS

The Venom tournament is normally what players are waiting for in these festivals but today it’s the starter. This is such a huge series with none-stop action promised for the next three and a half weeks.

Running from May 9 to May 24 the PKOSS offers NL and PLO PKO tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $15 up to more than $1,000. Something for everyone—ACR never leaves anybody out.

Three Main Events and three Multi-Flight tournaments mean there will always be another “big” event just around the corner, no matter what your bankroll. Next week sees the Kick-Off Main Event, with a $55 buy-in and a $500,000 guarantee followed by Main Event 1 a week later with a $1 million guarantee and $630 buy-in. Main Event 2 on May 23 is the swansong as the festival wraps up until next time.

A triple-header of multi-flight tournaments has been added to include players from all time zones. Here everyone will get the chance to fight for a spot in Day 2 during their usual playing hours.
