Poker players looking for lightning-fast tournament poker action are heading to ACR Poker. The popular global poker site is bringing the heat with Lightning PKOs—a rapid progressive knockout tournament format that delivers high-speed play and big knockout prizes in tournaments that last just 45 minutes.

“If you’re a family man like me, finding time to play tournaments can be a challenge,” said ACR Pro and poker legend Chris Moneymaker. “ACR Poker’s Lightning PKOs are perfect for time-starved players who love fast-paced poker action and big knockout rewards without the long grind. Whether you’re playing on mobile or desktop, there’s 45-minute tournaments running around the clock, making it easy to find a game and join the excitement anytime.”

Running 24/7, Lightning PKOs give players the flexibility to jump into the action at any time. With buy-ins ranging from $0.11 up to $31.50, these tournaments cater to every bankroll while providing the chance to play for instant knockout bounties. With 20 minutes of late registration, players can join on the fly without missing out.

Unlike traditional poker tournaments that can last for hours, Lightning PKOs keep the action moving, with every tournament wrapping up in just 45 minutes. Players start with 10 big blinds and every knockout results in an instant cash prize. With more players joining daily, the prize pools continue to grow, offering even greater rewards in every tournament.

Lightning PKOs are now available as part of ACR Poker’s recently revamped tournament schedule, giving players the chance to jump in and play anytime, anywhere.

In addition to the high-energy Lightning PKOs, players can experience even more action at ACR Poker throughout March and April. The Online Super Series runs until Monday, March 31st, featuring $25 million in guarantees and a $35,000 Leaderboard Contest. Players can also jump into the $12 million guaranteed Dual Venom tournaments starting Sunday, April 13th and secure their $2,650 seat for as little as $0 through the Venom Vault and Venom Fever Satellites.

ACR Poker is kicking off the new year with two massive Mystery Bounty Venom events, boasting $10 million in total guarantees. And now the popular worldwide poker site’s Venom Fever promotion is giving players an easier, more affordable way to lock in their $2,650 seats to these major tournaments.

The Venom Fever satellites, available until Sunday, February 2nd, are awarding over 800 seats, each worth $2,650, for the $8 million NLH and $2 million PLO Venom events that both begin with Day1A on Sunday, January 19th. Included are the Beast, Venom Madness, Mega Satellites, and Direct Satellites.

“Our Venom Fever satellites are the perfect way to secure your $2,650 Venom seat for much less or even free,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “Packed with substantial prize money, exciting bounties, and tons of chances to qualify, January’s Mystery Bounty Venom events are going to be huge—don’t miss your chance to be part of the action.” 

For the $8 million NLH Venom event, players can join ACR Poker’s weekly Beast tournament taking place on Sunday, January 12th, 19th and 26th at 5:05pm ET—with 95 total seats up for grabs. The next tourney guarantees 25 seats, and players can buy-in for $95 or qualify for free by climbing the weekly Beast leaderboard.

In addition, Mega Satellites will guarantee a whopping 262 seats from Saturday, January 18th to Sunday, February 2nd, with pathways starting as low as $0. The Venom Madness satellite offers a chance to enter for $16.50 from Sunday, January 12th to Saturday, February 1st, with 10 total seats guaranteed. Players can also take part in daily Direct Satellites that guarantee 369 total seats, with buy-ins from $33.
