$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:
| Place | Low (up to $33) | High (over $33) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | $3,000 + $2,650 Venom NLH | $7,500 + $2,650 Venom NLH |
| 3 | $2,000 + $2,650 Venom NLH | $5,000 + $2,650 Venom NLH |
| 4 | $1,000 + $2,650 Venom NLH | $3,000 + $2,650 Venom NLH |
| 5 | $2,650 Venom NLH | $1,500 + $2,650 Venom NLH |
| 6 — 10 | 3 tickets: $290 + $109 + $55 | $2,650 Venom NLH |
| 11 — 25 | 2 tickets: $109 + $55 | 2 tickets: $630 + $290 |
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.
