ACR Poker’s $100K Run Up Leaderboard Race Adds Venom-Sized Value
ACR Poker is turning the Run Up Series into more than just a tournament grind with its biggest-ever $100,000 leaderboard contest. Split into High and Low divisions, the race gives players at different buy-in levels a shot at cash, tickets, and seats into the upcoming $15M Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms.
ACR Poker
ACR Poker’s largest leaderboard contest to date is now in motion, and the early race already has clear frontrunners. "KROXCE" currently leads the High Leaderboard, while "CYRAXJR" sits on top of the Low Leaderboard during the ongoing Run Up Series.
The leaderboard battle runs alongside the $10,000,000 Run Up Series, which features 163 tournaments from July 12 to August 17. With several weeks of events still left on the schedule, both divisions remain wide open as players continue collecting points through series results.
In the High division, "KROXCE" holds first place, followed by "BUENAHISTORIA" in second and "ALGSXR" in third. Over on the Low Leaderboard, "CYRAXJR" leads the way, with "BIZZNESS" in second and UNDAUNT3D currently sitting third.
With $100,000 in leaderboard prizes on the line and plenty of Run Up Series tournaments still to come, the race is far from over.
Biggest-Ever Leaderboard Contest
The Run Up Series leaderboard is split into two separate races, giving players at different buy-in levels a fairer shot at added value. The High Leaderboard applies to Run Up Series events with buy-ins above $33, while the Low Leaderboard covers tournaments priced at $33 or less. That structure lets grinders compete within the schedule that best fits their bankroll.
In total, 25 players in each division will earn prizes, with the full $100,000 leaderboard prize pool funded by ACR Poker. Rewards include cash, tournament tickets, and seats into the upcoming $15 million guaranteed Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms.
The High Leaderboard winner receives $10,000 cash, a $2,650 NLH Venom ticket, and a $2,650 PLO Venom ticket. Second place takes $7,500 plus an NLH Venom seat, while third place earns $5,000 and an NLH Venom ticket.
The Low Leaderboard also gives smaller buy-in grinders a direct path into ACR Poker’s biggest late-summer events. First place wins $5,000 plus tickets to both the NLH and PLO Venoms. Second place earns $3,000 and an NLH Venom ticket, while third place receives $2,000 and an NLH Venom seat.
Run Up Leaderboard Distribution
| Place | Buy-In Over $33 | Buy-In $33 and Under |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | $10,000 + $2,650 Venom NLH Ticket + $2,650 Venom PLO Ticket | $5,000 + $2,650 Venom NLH Ticket + $2,650 Venom PLO Ticket |
| 2nd | $7,500 + $2,650 Venom NLH Ticket | $3,000 + $2,650 Venom NLH Ticket |
| 3rd | $5,000 + $2,650 Venom NLH Ticket | $2,000 + $2,650 Venom NLH Ticket |
| 4th | $3,000 + $2,650 Venom NLH Ticket | $1,000 + $2,650 Venom NLH Ticket |
| 5th | $1,500 + $2,650 Venom NLH Ticket | $2,650 Venom NLH Ticket |
| 6th–10th | $2,650 Venom NLH Ticket | $290 Ticket + $109 Ticket + $55 Ticket |
| 11th–25th | $630 Ticket + $290 Ticket | $109 Ticket + $55 Ticket |
Those Venom tickets add serious extra weight to the leaderboard race, turning strong Run Up Series results into a shot at ACR Poker’s biggest Mystery Bounty events of the summer.
A Shot at $1M GTD
A $66 buy-in rarely comes with this kind of ceiling, but ACR Poker is giving players exactly that during the Run Up Series.
The $1 Million GTD Mystery Bounty Multi-Flight is already building momentum, with 1,220 entries counted at press time. There is still plenty of room to jump in, as more than 200 Day 1 flights remain before all qualified players return for Day 2 on Monday, August 17.
And the guarantee is only half the story. Once the Mystery Bounty phase begins, players will also be hunting for the huge $100,000 top bounty, the biggest single bounty prize available anywhere in the Run Up Series.
$15M Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms Await
The Run Up Series leaderboard is more than a race for added prizes. Some of its biggest rewards also open the door to ACR Poker’s next major tournament showcase: the Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms.
Starting August 13, ACR Poker will host the biggest Venom lineup in its history, with $15,000,000 guaranteed across two massive $2,650 buy-in Mystery Bounty events running side by side:
- $12,000,000 GTD No-Limit Hold’em Mystery Bounty Venom
- $3,000,000 GTD Pot-Limit Omaha Mystery Bounty Venom
Both events feature eight Day 1 flights, giving players several chances to qualify. Anyone who makes it to Day 2 is already in the money before the Mystery Bounty action begins. The bounty upside is huge. The NLH Venom comes with a massive $500,000 top bounty, while the PLO Venom features a $250,000 top bounty. Every bounty in both tournaments is worth at least $5,000, turning every knockout into a major sweat once the mystery prizes are live.
Players also have cheaper ways in. Through Venom Fever, ACR Poker is guaranteeing more than 1,500 Venom seats, with satellites and qualification routes starting from $0.
