San Jose, Costa Rica – November 03, 2026 -- Seven players won $30,000 packages to the WSOP Paradise festival in the Bahamas on Sunday, November 1, through ACR Poker's $1,050 Mega Satellite. The same day, the site closed its three Halloween Special Mystery PKO tournaments, which paid $836,930 in combined prize pools against $650,000 guaranteed.

All three Halloween events beat their guarantees

The $109 event drew 5,623 entries and built a $562,300 pool against a $500,000 guarantee. Ilvoirien took $55,642 in prize money and bounties after a final-table deal. Third-place finisher 777bob1k collected $75,325 including bounties, more than either of the top two finishers.

The $33 tournament pulled in 6,019 entries and $180,570 against a $100,000 guarantee. DasZiel won $27,604 including bounties. The $5.50 event logged 18,812 entries for $94,060 against $50,000 guaranteed, and Xnumber1CHIPSX earned $12,830 including bounties.

Mystery PKO splits every knockout reward 50/50

The tournaments introduced Mystery PKO, a format exclusive to the Winning Poker Network. When a mystery prize is revealed, half goes straight to the player who made the knockout. The other half is added to that player's progressive bounty. The eliminated opponent's accumulated progressive bounty is also split 50/50.

The Mega Satellite ran a $38,000 overlay

The $1,050 WSOP Paradise Mega Satellite attracted 172 entries. That left a $38,000 overlay against $210,000 in guaranteed package value, the fourth straight weekly Mega with an overlay.

Each package includes a $26,000 entry to the $50 million guaranteed WSOP Paradise Super Main Event, held December 10-17. It also covers accommodation at Baha Mar from December 5 to 18.

The next Mega runs Sunday, November 8, at 3:05 p.m. ET, with seven packages guaranteed.
