The fast-paced Survivor Flips tourney features a $400,000 guaranteed prize pool, and players can earn their seat by advancing through Phase 1 starting this Thursday. Players can enter Step Satellites starting at $2.25, or jump straight into Phase 1 for a $130 buy-in. Phase 1 and Step Satellites run daily through Sunday, June 1st at 3pm ET, leading into Phase 2 that day at 3:05pm ET, where all participants start in the money and play in a regular tournament.
Hot on the heels of the Survivor Flips action kicking off, three monster Main Events are set to take center stage with Day 1’s this Sunday, May 25th and Sunday, June 1st. Day 2 is then on Monday, June 2nd. There is $2 million guaranteed in both the $2,650 buy-in and $1,050 buy-in Main Events, and $1 million guaranteed in the $215 buy-in Main Event.
“This is the biggest series in our history, offering insane value and something for everyone,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “The Main Events are massive, and the Survivor Flips tourney is especially fun — fast action, quick results, big rewards, and you start Phase 2 already in the money. Don’t miss this massive week of the OSS XL.”
In addition to these headliners, players can jump into a $2 million Multi-Flight tourney, three massive Mystery Bounty Multi-Flight events and chase a piece of the $65,000 Leaderboard Contest.

Drafting opens from today through Monday, May 26th, giving players the chance to compete for cash rewards
ACR Poker is bringing back its fan-favorite Fantasy Poker League promotion this month, offering players the chance to cash-in on Vegas’ biggest summer series without playing a single hand.
Building on the success of 2024’s inaugural Vegas edition, where over 700 teams were created, the Fantasy Poker League: Vegas 2025 gives fans and players worldwide a unique opportunity to engage with the action by drafting their ultimate lineup of poker pros and competing for cash prizes, glory and bragging rights.
“Fantasy sports are wildly popular, and after last year’s epic Vegas edition, bringing the Fantasy Poker League back was a no-brainer,” said 2003 WSOP Main Event champion and ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “Whether you’re railing your favorite pros or competing with friends, it’s the best way to stay connected to all the hot poker action in Vegas this summer.”
The drafting period for the Fantasy Poker League kicks off today and runs until Monday, May 26th (12pm ET). From Tuesday, May 27th through Wednesday, July 16th, participants will earn points every time their drafted players cash in live poker events during Sin City’s hottest summer series.
Here’s how the 2025 Fantasy Poker League works:
- Draft your fantasy squad(s) (between 4 to 8 players), staying within the $300 salary cap (May 12th–26th)
- Choose between three fantasy league buy-in options: $20, $100, and $500 (May 12th–26th)
- Check the leaderboard daily to see how your selected team(s) are performing against the competition (May 27th–July 16th)
In addition to the Public League, ACR Poker is enhancing this year’s Vegas edition with the introduction of Private Leagues. Players now have the ability to design their own custom league experience with friends and choose their own buy-ins, salary caps, and participation limits to create the perfect competition.
Moneymaker also noted that participants can easily register and assemble their dream poker team(s) by visiting the My Account page – Rewards tab in the ACR Poker client. Plus, they can enter as many teams as they like.
Alongside the Fantasy Poker League, players looking for more poker action this May can jump into ACR Poker’s largest Online Super Series XL, guaranteeing over $50 Million. Plus, the ‘Moneymaker May-Hem’ offers players a chance to join Chris Moneymaker in Las Vegas for the $10K Main Event when they play in any $109 Sunday Moneymaker Tournament this month.
