A four day poker tournament with a large prize paid instantly.Who would have thought that a site not called Pokerstars or partypoker could generate a prize pool of nearly $10 million?

The latest running of "The Venom" on America's Cardroom has been a massive success, as the $2,500 + $150 buy-in event ended up generating a total prize pool of $9,680,000.

This easily surpassed the tournament's ambitious guarantee of $7 million.

In total, the tournament ended up with an eye-popping total of 3,872 total entrants. The event received 561 entrants on Day 1A, 956 entrants on Day 1B, 732 entrants on Day 1C and 1,623 entrants on Day 1D.

There was originally $1 million earmarked to the eventual winner of the event, though the massive prize pool significantly increased the money that the top finishers will walk away with.

Here are the final table payouts for the event:

1st - $1,542,024
2nd - $1,135,466
3rd - $836,352
