ACR Poker’s $1 Million Guaranteed Mystery Bounty tournament is underway during the Run Up Series. The multi-flight event costs $66 to enter and has already generated 1,500+ entries, while more than 200 Day 1 flights remain on the schedule.

Players who qualify will return for Day 2 on Monday, August 17, when the Mystery Bounty stage begins. Along with competing for part of the $1 million guaranteed prize pool, participants will have the chance to collect knockout prizes worth up to $100,000.

Run up Series Mystery Bounty Event 1m Gtd at Acr Poker

$100,000 Mystery Bounty for a $66 Entry

The event combines an affordable buy-in with one of the largest prizes available during the Run Up Series.

Players must first survive a Day 1 flight to reach the bounty portion of the tournament. Once Day 2 begins, each elimination will reveal a randomly assigned Mystery Bounty.

The largest bounty is worth $100,000, meaning one knockout could produce a six-figure payout regardless of where the player eventually finishes in the tournament.

Key tournament details include:

🏆 Guarantee: $1,000,000
🎟️ Buy-in: $66
👥 Current entries: 1,500+
🎁 Top Mystery Bounty: $100,000
📅 Day 2: Monday, August 17
⏳ Remaining Day 1 flights: More than 200

The large number of starting flights gives players repeated chances to advance. Anyone eliminated from one Day 1 can enter another flight and try again before qualification closes.

Run Up Series Offers More Than $10M GTD

The Mystery Bounty tournament is the main multi-flight event of ACR Poker’s Run Up Series.

The five-week series runs through Monday, August 17 and includes 163 tournaments with more than $10 million in combined guarantees. Events are available at a wide range of price levels, allowing both recreational players and higher-stakes regulars to participate.

Three Main Events will take place during the final weekend:

$750,000 GTD ($1,050 buy-in)
$400,000 GTD ($215 buy-in)
$200,000 GTD ($33 buy-in)

Day 1 of all three Main Events is scheduled for Sunday, August 16. Surviving players will continue on Monday, August 17, the same date as Day 2 of the $1 Million Mystery Bounty.

$100K Leaderboard Competition

Players can also earn points toward the Run Up Series leaderboard while competing in tournaments.

ACR Poker is adding $100,000 in prizes (its biggest leaderboard ever) across two separate divisions. The High Leaderboard applies to tournaments with larger buy-ins, while the Low Leaderboard gives lower-stakes players their own competition.

The top 25 players in each division will receive rewards. Available prizes include cash, tournament tickets, and entries into ACR Poker’s upcoming Venom tournaments.

This gives regular participants an additional source of value beyond their individual tournament results.

Record $15M Dual Venoms Coming in August

Some leaderboard winners will earn access to the largest combined Venom schedule ever held at ACR Poker.

The Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms begin August 13 with $15 million guaranteed between two tournaments:

NLH Venom: $12 million guaranteed and a $500,000 top bounty
PLO Venom: $3 million guaranteed and a $250,000 top bounty

Both events have a $2,650 direct buy-in and eight Day 1 flights.

Players looking for a more affordable route can attempt to qualify through the Venom Fever promotion. Satellite paths begin from $0 and offer numerous opportunities to win a seat without paying the full tournament entry.

More Anniversary Action

ACR Poker’s 25th anniversary schedule also features a separate $2.5 Million Guaranteed Anniversary Tournament. The $250 event is in progress with 21 Day 1 flights and a cumulative stack format.

Take Your Shot Now

With more than 200 starting flights still available, the $66 Mystery Bounty remains one of the most accessible ways ever to compete for a seven-figure prize pool. Qualify for Day 2, collect knockouts, and one $100,000 bounty could turn a small investment into a major result.
