$100,000 Leaderboard

Run Up leaderboards guarantee players a total of $100,000 in cash, Venom NLH and Venom PLO tickets, and Venom Mega Satellites.

The record leaderboard is divided into two tournaments based on buy-ins, which award points in them.

The winners of each of them will receive three prizes at once:

• Low — $5,000 in cash and two tickets for Venom NLH and Venom PLO.
• High — $10,000 in cash and two tickets for Venom NLH and Venom PLO.

For the rest, the prizes will be as follows:

As usual, leaderboard points are awarded only for finishing in the prizes of series tournaments. The formula used to calculate points from each tournament is:

√ prize pool ÷ √ finishing position

All tickets won through the promotion are automatic pre-registrations for Day 1E of Venoms MB and the corresponding $55, $109, $290 or $630 Venom Fever Mega satellites on August 22nd and 23rd, 2026.
