Two Massive Mystery Bounty Events

The centerpiece of the festival is the $12 million guaranteed No-Limit Hold'em Venom, accompanied by a $3 million guaranteed Pot-Limit Omaha Venom. Both tournaments feature a $2,650 buy-in and include eight Day 1 flights, giving players greater flexibility to qualify for Day 2.

The No-Limit Hold'em edition includes a top Mystery Bounty worth $500,000, while the Pot-Limit Omaha tournament awards a maximum Mystery Bounty of $250,000. Every mystery bounty is guaranteed to be worth at least $5,000.

As with previous Mystery Bounty formats, every player reaching Day 2 is already guaranteed a cash prize before bounty payouts begin. Once the bounty stage starts, every elimination awards a randomly drawn mystery bounty, adding significant value to every knockout.

Multiple Flights and Stack Merging

One of the unique features of the Dual Venoms is the ability to play multiple starting flights. Players who qualify more than once can combine their Day 1 stacks for Day 2, creating additional strategic opportunities throughout the series.

The schedule begins with Day 1A on August 13, with additional starting flights running until August 30. Day 2 takes place on August 31, while the No-Limit Hold'em tournament continues through Day 3 on September 1 before concluding with its final table on September 2. The Pot-Limit Omaha Venom skips Day 3 and also crowns its champion on September 2.

Venom Fever Returns

Players don't have to pay the full buy-in to participate. Americas Cardroom is once again running its popular Venom Fever promotion, awarding more than 1,500 guaranteed seats into the two flagship events.

Players can qualify through several routes, including Direct Satellites, Mega Satellites, Beast tournaments, and Survivor Flips, with some qualification paths starting at $0.

Beginning on August 17, the festival also expands with a schedule of Venom Specials featuring more than $10 million in additional guaranteed prize pools, giving players even more opportunities throughout the anniversary celebration.

A Record-Breaking Venom Series

With record guarantees, eight starting flights, stack-merging mechanics, and life-changing mystery bounties, the 2026 Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms represent the biggest online poker festival ever hosted by Americas Cardroom.

Players looking to take part can qualify for a fraction of the buy-in through satellites or jump directly into one of the headline events as the network celebrates 25 years of online poker.
