From January 18th to February 1st, PokerKing will host The Venom PKO, its flagship multi-day tournament with a prize pool of $5,000,000.
There will be four entry days, each with 28 levels (11 hours). The second day will last the same amount of time, the third will take place until the final table participants are determined (times are EST):

Satellites
A ticket to the tournament traditionally costs $2,650, but there are many ways to save:
- Venom Fever Mega Satellites: Massive tournaments with buy-ins from $32 to $215 and tickets to The Venom as prizes.
- Cyclone Blitz Steps: multi-stage satellites from $0.11 in a fast poker format: the blinds do not increase, and the table changes when cards are folded. A ticket to the next stage (there are 9 in total) is issued for a stack of 5,000 chips (from the start they give 1,112 – 1,719, which is about 15BB).
- Venom Steps: classic satellites, where winning one tournament gives you a ticket to a more expensive one. Available in Sit&Go and MTT formats, buy-ins from $0.11 to $880. There are only 9 steps, and you can start with any of them.
- Skips: Satellites similar to Steps, but with 5 steps. Entry will cost from $0.25 to $880.
Winners of the regular rake races The Beast and Sit&Crush receive tickets to the $95 Beast & SnC MEGA satellites, in which 20 tickets to The Venom are raffled off.
