No Rest for Grinders: ACR Follows $50M OSS XL With $6.5M Dual Venom PKOs
- OSS XL 2026 Main Events shattered guarantees with big prize pools.
- Dual Venom PKO returns Oct 4 featuring $5M NLH and $1.5M PLO progressive knockouts.
- Players can qualify from just $0.80 via Venom Fever satellites.
OSS XL Wraps Up, The Dual Venom Kicks Off
No rest for the wicked... grinders. Today, Monday, September 28, the $50M OSS XL 2026 enters its closing chapter with three Main Event Day 2s and a $15.4K Nosebleed high roller. Even as OSS tournaments roll through Tuesday, ACR Poker is already setting the stage for its next monster festival: the Dual Venom PKO.
These must play elite progressive knockout tournaments enter the arena on October 4 with a combined $6.5M guaranteed.
You can start grinding your $2,650 seat the moment OSS XL wraps up, with ACR’s Venom Fever satellites firing cheap qualifier routes right away.
OSS XL Monday Madness: $7.5M+ in Play
OSS XL Monday’s schedule combines the surviving fields from the multi-flight Main Events, and every single one eclipsed its guarantee:
- $2,650 Main Event ($2.5M GTD): 1,069 entries pushed the final prize pool to $2,672,500.
- $1,050 Main Event ($2M GTD): 2,184 runners drove the pot to $2,184,000.
- $630 Multi Main ($1.5M GTD): 2,750 entries capped the pool at $1,650,000.
Right alongside the Main Event restarts, high-stakes players get a prime sweat with Second Mortgage Week wrapping up via the $15,400 Phil’s Nosebleeds ($45K GTD) and a $5,200 NLH 6-Max.
The OSS XL schedule stays loaded through Tuesday, September 29, with final tables streaming and events like the Loncar and Boski Daily Doubles running right to the finish line.
Dual Venom PKO Returns: $5M NLH & $1.5M PLO
Once the OSS XL closes Tuesday night, the tournament calendar shifts directly into bounty mode. Starting Sunday, October 4, the Dual Venom PKO brings two separate MEGA bangers for online scalp hunters for a direct $2,650 buy-in:
- $5,000,000 GTD NLH PKO Venom
- $1,500,000 GTD PLO PKO Venom
Both of these tournaments feature a premier progressive knockout format, where every elimination adds instant cash to your bankroll while boosting the bounty on your own head.
In the previous Dual Venom edition, both guarantees were crushed, building $7.8 million+ in combined pools.
NLH winner Rigapols81 received a $675,000+ total payday (including nearly $297,000 in bounties alone), and PLO champion PohPohPohPAAAA pocketed $252,888, taking nearly half of that score from knockouts.
Five Flights Starting October 4
