On November 1, ACR Poker will host two major tournament events: a $1,050 Mega Satellite guaranteeing seven $30,000 WSOP Paradise packages and Day 2 of the Halloween Mystery PKO series, which has $650,000 in combined guarantees. Players can still qualify for the final stages of the Halloween tournaments through the remaining Day 1 flights, competing for both regular prize pool payouts and big bounties.

Halloween Acr Poker Mystery Pko and Wsop Paradise Packages

WSOP Paradise packages to the Bahamas

On Sunday, November 1, at 20:05 GMT, ACR Poker will run another $1,050 WSOP Paradise Mega Satellite, guaranteeing seven $30,000 packages. These packages cover a trip to the final World Series of Poker stop of the year in December, including entry into a tournament with a prize pool of at least $50 million.

In addition to the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event buy-in, each package includes accommodation at SLS Baha Mar from December 5 to 18.

The first two Mega Satellites each finished with a $50,000 overlay.

WSOP Paradise Satellite: 5 Seats GTD Structure

  • Starting stack: 5,000 chips (63 BB)
  • Blind levels: 10 minutes through Level 12, then 8 minutes from Level 13 onward.
  • Late registration and unlimited re-entries: 12 levels.
  • Table format: 8-max.

The final satellite is scheduled for November 22.

How to qualify for the WSOP Paradise Mega through satellite steps

Throughout the week, ACR Poker runs several types of qualifying tournaments, giving players with smaller bankrolls a chance to reach the Mega Satellite.

Among them are 14 satellites with a $109 buy-in, each guaranteeing five $1,050 tickets.

Seats in the $109 satellites can be won through:

  • $10.50 Hyper Satellite, 2 Tickets GTD.
  • $11 Turbo Satellite, 5 Tickets GTD.
  • Two-level SnG Survivor Flips with a starting buy-in of $1.90.

Players can also qualify for the Turbo Satellite through feeder satellites starting at just $1.10.

The cheapest satellite with a substantial guarantee for the WSOP Paradise Mega is the Beast WSOP Paradise Mega, with a $95 buy-in. It starts every Sunday at 5:05 p.m. ET.

Players can qualify by finishing near the top of the weekly The Beast leaderboard or by entering cheaper feeder tournaments, including the $11 Beast WSOP Super Sat, which guarantees 30 tickets worth $95 each.

All satellite steps run on the same day as the main feeder satellite.

The next The Beast satellite starts on November 1 at 22:05 GMT. Winners will receive 50 tickets to the WSOP Paradise Mega scheduled for November 8.

For players who prefer the fastest qualification routes, the Survivor Flips 3-Step pathway is available:
$2.50 → $18.25 → $138 → $1,050

Halloween Mystery PKO

On November 1, Day 2 begins for three tournaments with $650,000 in combined guarantees, bringing the fight for random Mystery Bounties and Progressive Bounties into its next stage.

The series caters to players with different bankrolls:

TournamentGuaranteeTime (GMT)
$109 Mystery PKO$500,00021:30
$33 Mystery PKO$100,00021:05
$5.50 Mystery PKO$50,00019:30

The remaining Day 1 flights, with more than 20 scheduled for November 1 alone, give players another chance to qualify or build a larger stack.

Players can enter multiple starting flights of the same tournament. If a player qualifies through more than one flight, their qualifying stacks are combined before Day 2. This means players can continue entering additional flights even after securing a spot in the next stage, aiming to increase their combined stack.

All three tournaments advance to Day 2 on Sunday, November 1. Their start times vary, so players should check the lobby for each event.

How the new Mystery PKO format works

Halloween Mystery PKOs combine random Mystery Bounties with Progressive Bounties. No bounties are paid for knockouts on Day 1, and every player starts Day 2 with no accumulated bounty.

On Day 2, each knockout triggers a Mystery Bounty reveal. Half of the bounty is paid to the player who scores the knockout, while the other half is added to their own Progressive Bounty. The eliminated player's accumulated bounty is also split in half using the same principle.

As a result, every knockout generates an immediate cash reward while increasing the bounty on the knockout winner's head.

What should ACR Poker players choose on November 1?

ACR Poker's Sunday schedule offers two distinct options.

Players looking to attend a major live poker event can compete for one of seven WSOP Paradise packages worth $30,000 each. The direct buy-in for the Mega Satellite is $1,050, while feeder satellite buy-ins start at just $1.10.

Players who prefer tournaments with knockout rewards can choose the Halloween Mystery PKOs. Buy-ins start at $5.50, and the three events offer $650,000 in combined guarantees. The option to combine qualifying stacks also gives players an additional way to strengthen their position heading into Day 2.
