Both $2,650 buy-in Venom PKO events exceed guarantees, with 'TruePro' earning over $700,000 in the NLH PKO Venom

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ACR Poker's first-ever Dual Venom PKO tournaments have concluded, featuring the $5 Million GTD NLH and the $1.5 Million GTD PLO. The combined prize pools across both events reached an impressive $8,380,000, with players from around the globe battling for huge bounties and life-changing payouts.

The four-day NLH PKO Venom generated a total prize pool of $6,615,000, surpassing its guarantee for the ninth time in ACR Poker's NLH PKO Venom history. Poker pro Dmitry 'TruePro' Kravchenko triumphed over a strong field of 2,646 entrants, including ACR Pros Chris Moneymaker and Jon Pardy. The champion defeated 'Worm236', securing the coveted title and a life-changing payout of over $700,000, including the 1st-place prize of $393,837 and $310,312 in bounties.

Commenting on his win, Kravchenko said: "I had the feeling that this was a dream, and everything that was happening was just a trick of the mind. The day before Venom, I won GG Millions. And to be honest, it was already much easier to play, I wouldn't even be upset if I didn't take first place. But I was still very pleased to know that I could win two of the biggest events in online poker."

The PLO PKO Venom also exceeded its guarantee, with a final prize pool of $1,765,000, marking ACR Poker's largest PLO PKO event ever with 706 total entries. At the intense final table, 30-year-old poker player Aleksandr '0to100k' Shepel emerged as the champion, taking home more than $300,000, including $149,560 in prize money and $162,219 in bounties. "A very pleasant feeling of victory after a long streak of failures," Shepel shared after the win.

Venom Fever Satellites were also a key highlight of the Dual Venom PKO tourneys, awarding over 700 seats worth $2,650 each and offering players a shot at turning small investments into huge payouts through low-cost or free entry options.
