Kick off the week with more tournaments and bigger prize pools every Monday
Hot on the heels of the action-packed Supersized Sunday, where 26 tournaments saw total guarantees climb to nearly $4 million for one day only, ACR Poker is keeping the momentum going with the launch of Must-Play Mondays.
Starting today, the new weekly schedule delivers $500,000 in additional guaranteed prize pools and a fresh lineup of tournaments every Monday, ensuring the poker action continues after the weekend.
“Supersized Sunday was a big hit, and now Must-Play Mondays is the perfect way to keep that energy going,” said ACR Pro, Chris Moneymaker. “Offering bigger guarantees, more tournaments and buy-ins for every bankroll, this new Monday schedule gives players more opportunities to start their week off strong in what used to be a somewhat boring day.”
Must-Play Mondays bring an expanded schedule of events across a mix of formats, including No-Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha, and Progressive Knockouts, with a range of buy-ins to suit every player’s preference.
Following Monday’s action, players can also plan for Big Poker Thursdays, which offers $400,000 in added guarantees across 14 tournaments, with buy-ins ranging from 11 cents to $1,050. These tournaments, which run every Thursday outside of major tournament series, offer players another chance to build their bankrolls before the weekend begins.
With a recently revamped tournament schedule, along with Big Poker Thursdays and now Must-Play Mondays, ACR Poker continues to reshape its tournament offering to provide players with more poker action and big prize pools throughout the week.
