SAN JOSÉ, COSTA RICA / ACCESS Newswire / November 2, 2026 / ACR Poker reported $836,930 in combined prize pools across its three Halloween Special Mystery PKO tournaments, which concluded November 1. The total exceeded the events' combined $650,000 guarantees by $186,930. A separate WSOP Paradise Mega Satellite awarded seven packages worth $30,000 each in Sunday action.
The $109 Halloween tournament attracted 5,623 entries, creating a $562,300 prize pool against $500,000 guaranteed. The $33 tournament recorded 6,019 entries and a $180,570 prize pool against its $100,000 guarantee. The $5.50 event drew 18,812 entries for $94,060, surpassing its $50,000 guarantee.
Ilvoirien finished first in the $109 tournament and received $55,642 in regular prize money and bounties following a final-table deal. Third-place finisher 777bob1k earned $75,325 including bounties, exceeding the total received by either of the top two finishers. DasZiel won the $33 event for $27,604 including bounties. Xnumber1CHIPSX secured the $5.50 title for $12,830 including bounties.
Mystery PKO, introduced through the Halloween events, is exclusive to the Winning Poker Network. The format pairs hidden mystery prizes with visible progressive bounties. A player making a knockout receives half of the revealed mystery prize immediately, with the remaining half added to that player's progressive bounty. Any accumulated progressive bounty on the eliminated opponent is also split 50/50.
Sunday's $1,050 WSOP Paradise Mega Satellite drew 172 entries and distributed the full $210,000 in guaranteed package value, creating a $38,000 overlay. The result extended the weekly Megas' overlay sequence to four consecutive editions. The October 11 and October 18 tournaments each recorded more than $50,000 in overlay, followed by $20,000 on October 25.
Each $30,000 package includes the $26,000 buy-in to the $50 million guaranteed WSOP Paradise Super Main Event, scheduled for December 10-17, plus accommodation at Baha Mar from December 5-18. The next Bahamas Mega is scheduled for Sunday, November 8, at 3:05 p.m. ET, with seven more packages guaranteed.
