ACR Poker is heading into one of its busiest August schedules after a July filled with memorable player moments, new promotions, live-event packages and tournament launches.
Alex Foxen and Chris Moneymaker both drew attention during ESPN's 2026 Main Event coverage. Foxen called a 67,100-chip shove with A♠J♣ against J♥10♥ and won 142,500 on a 6♦ K♥ 5♣ A♥ 6♠ board. Moneymaker later exited on the stone bubble after calling a river shove with J♥9♦ against A♥A♠ on an 8♥ 7♠ 7♦ 7♣ 8♠ board.
ACR Poker gave the second story a sequel on July 28 with The Moneymaker Bubble Effect. The tournament carried a $0.10 buy-in and a $10,000 guarantee, while the player eliminated directly on the money bubble received a $2,650 Venom seat.
The month also opened several longer-running routes into the rest of the summer. The Run Up Series began July 12 with 163 events and more than $10 million guaranteed through August 17. The $2.5 million guaranteed 25th Anniversary Tournament began July 18 with a $250 buy-in and cumulative stacks, allowing every qualifying stack to be combined for Day 2.
Venom Fever offered more than 1,500 guaranteed seats into the two upcoming Venoms. Players can qualify through routes ranging from $0.01 Spin to Get In games and $0.80 Survivor Flips to Venom Madness, Direct Satellites and the Venom Vault. Two Beast satellites also awarded 20 Moneymaker Poker Tour Aruba packages worth $5,000 each.
Away from the client, Americas Cardroom announced its sponsorship of High Times' Kicking Back, a World Cup docuseries hosted by Ethan Zohn. Martin Zamani was announced for sponsored poker and cannabis culture segments.
August brings the biggest tournament dates. Three Run Up Main Events begin August 16 with buy-ins of $33, $215 and $1,050. The two $2,650 Mystery Bounty Venoms begin August 13 and share an eight-flight schedule.
The No-Limit Hold'em Venom guarantees $12 million with a $500,000 top bounty. The Pot-Limit Omaha Venom guarantees $3 million with a $250,000 top bounty. Each event has a $5,000 minimum Mystery Bounty, and every player reaching Day 2 is in the money.
Current schedules and qualification details are available through ACR Poker News.
