Americas Cardroom Sets $6.5 Million Guarantee for October Dual Venom

Americas Cardroom is ramping up its tournament schedule this October, launching dual Progressive Knockout events with a combined $6.5 million guarantee. The series, which features both No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha formats, kicks off on October 4, marking a significant milestone in the platform's 25th anniversary year.

The $5 million guaranteed No-Limit Hold'em event and the $1.5 million guaranteed Pot-Limit Omaha tournament will both feature $2,650 buy-ins. The latter ties the largest PLO PKO guarantee ever hosted by the site. Players can enter through five starting flights scheduled between October 4 and October 18, with the final day of competition set for October 19.

For those looking to secure a seat at a lower price point, the "Venom Fever" satellite phase runs from September 29 through October 18. Options range from 80-cent Survivor Flips to free-entry Mega Satellites. Under the PKO structure, half of every bounty prize is added to the winner’s own head, allowing potential payouts for a single knockout to reach tens of thousands of dollars.

Last year’s iteration of the dual series exceeded expectations, generating a combined prize pool of nearly $7.85 million. The NLH event saw winner Rigapols81 walk away with over $675,000, while the PLO event champion PohPohPohPAAAA secured a total payout of $252,888. As the site celebrates its quarter-century anniversary, these events continue a trend of aggressive tournament scaling.
