Renowned online poker room ACR Poker has launched a new weekly tournament called Chris Moneymaker in honor of the former world poker champion and ACR Pro. Moneymaker, who gained notoriety for his historic victory in the 2003 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, is still an inspiration to poker players around. His success, dubbed the “Moneymaker Effect,” demonstrated that anybody could become a great poker player by starting online. In honor of this heritage, the Sunday Moneymaker competition gives participants the opportunity to elevate routine encounters into remarkable ones.
Exciting Tournament Details
The Sunday Moneymaker tournament, with a $109 buy-in, replaces ACR Poker’s staple Sunday Warmup but raises the stakes even higher. Each Sunday at 1:05 pm ET, participants compete for a guaranteed $300,000 prize pool, except for the last Sunday of the month, when the prize pool increases to $500,000. The first-place winner stands to gain approximately $45,000 in the $300,000 GTD event and $75,000 in the $500,000 GTD event. This weekly event provides an opportunity for players to win life-changing prizes regularly.
Chris Moneymaker expressed his excitement: “I’m thrilled to have an ACR Poker tournament named after me and be part of this budget-friendly, big weekly event. Just like the recent Moneymaker Experience, where players won a VIP trip to join me in Vegas, this tourney is designed to give poker players the opportunity to experience their own ordinary-to-extraordinary moments.”
To ensure accessibility, ACR Poker has set up a Mega Satellite preceding every Sunday Moneymaker tournament. Players can start their journey with a freeroll ($0) and progress through Micro Hyper Sats ($1.05, $2.10), providing a pathway for everyone to qualify. This structure allows players of all budgets to participate and compete for substantial rewards, embodying the inclusive spirit that Chris Moneymaker’s legacy represents.
The Sunday Moneymaker tournament is not just a tribute to a poker legend but also an opportunity for players to achieve their own poker dreams. ACR Poker continues to innovate and offer exciting opportunities for poker enthusiasts worldwide.
