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.
