ACR’s High Five Tournament Series is your ticket to the $12.5 Million Venom
By RTR Alex
When ACR Poker dropped the news about their $12.5 Million GTD Venom tourney happening in April, it pretty much broke the poker internet. Now, as online poker’s biggest tournament approaches, the team over there are all hands on deck trying to get as many of us into the game as possible.
Remember the Online Super Series that had a whopping $16 Million on the line? It wasn’t just about the cash – three lucky souls snagged Venom seats through the OSS Leaderboard. Amping it up even more, ACR Poker is now awarding 20 Venom seats via their High Five leaderboard (but more on that soon enough).
High Fives All Round: The Tournament Series With The 420 Vibe
Rolling out typically in April with a nod to 420 culture, this year’s High Five Tournament Series is pulling up early as the perfect build-up to the $12.5 Venom.
Packed with a hefty $12.2 Million across 220 exciting events, there will be 10 tourneys daily for 22 days straight. Split between low buy-ins ($33 or less) and higher buy-ins (over $33), there’s something for everyone, regardless of how fat your wallet is. Overall, the buy-ins swing from just $1.10 to a cool $1,050.
And because we’re all about tradition here, the 10-minute “courtesy break” at 4:20pm ET is making a comeback. A little breather to grab some snacks, relieve yourself, or just Zen out for a bit.
Main Event Madness
Gear up for these two epic High Five Main Event on Sunday, March 31st:
- A $1,000,000 GTD tourney with a $630 buy-in
- A $500,000 GTD tourney with a $215 buy-in
The Leaderboard Challenge: Snag Your Venom Seat
This is where it gets juicy. Through the Leaderboard Challenge, ACR's guaranteeing 20 seats to The Venom, each worth $2,650, and it's all coming from their own pockets – talk about generosity!

It’s split up so that no matter if you’re swimming in the shallow or deep end of the cash pool, you’ve got a shot at glory.
To be clear, ACR is running two High Five Leaderboards, with 10 Venom seats going to lower stakes players ($1.10 to $33 buy-in events) and another 10 Venom seats going to higher stakes players ($44 to $1,050 buy-in events).
