Over $10 Million GTD
July 12th - August 17th
Vegas is in the rearview mirror. Your Sin City stories are getting better every time you tell them.
Now it’s time to get back to business.
The Run Up Series is here, delivering more than $10 million in guarantees across five weeks of play, all built to help players grow their bankrolls before the largest online events of 2026 come later this summer and fall.
With 163 tournaments, our biggest-ever $100,000 Leaderboard Contest, and buy-ins for every player type, this is an opportunity to turn a strong run into something massive.
Multi-Flight Headline Event
Day 1 Flights: Sunday, July 12th to Monday, August 17th. Day 2 also on August 17th.
$1 Million GTD Mystery Bounty ($66 Buy-in)
This is the event that players will be marking on their calendar. With Day 1 flights running all day, each day during the series, there will be no shortage of opportunities to secure a spot in Day 2 and compete for a share of the $1 Million guaranteed prize pool.
The Mystery Bounty format adds another layer of excitement. Every knockout comes with the chance to pull a mystery reward, and one lucky elimination will unlock the top prize of $100,000—the largest bounty in the Run Up Series.
Three Massive Main Events
Day 1 on Sunday, August 16th at 11:05am ET and Day 2 on Monday, August 17th.
No matter your bankroll, there’s a massive Main Event waiting for you:
- $750,000 GTD ($1,050 Buy-in)
- $400,000 GTD ($215 Buy-in)
- $200,000 GTD ($33 Buy-in)
$100,000 Leaderboard Contest
Beyond the tournament payouts, players will also accumulate points in the $100,000 Leaderboard Contest that’s 100% funded by Americas Cardroom.
Two separate leaderboards—High and Low—will give players opportunities to compete for leaderboard prizes:
- Cash
- NLH Venom Tickets
- PLO Venom Tickets
- Venom Mega Satellite Ticket Packages
First place on each respective leaderboard will receive:
- High: $10,000 + Venom NLH Ticket + Venom PLO Ticket
- Low: $5,000 + Venom NLH Ticket + Venom PLO Ticket
This is our biggest Leaderboard Contest of all time!
It’s time to “Run It Up”
Maybe you’re coming off a summer to remember. Maybe you’re still waiting for that one deep run to change everything.
Either way, the Run Up Series offers another opportunity to build your bankroll, move up the leaderboard, and prepare for the major events still ahead.
The summer grind continues. Your next big score is waiting.
