ACR Poker Hosts Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Charity

ACR Poker, one of the most popular online poker rooms for American players with over one million hands of poker played daily, is once again ready to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and raise funds for the United Breast Cancer Foundation (UBCF) 

ACR Poker has announced it will bring back its annual online charity tournament this Wednesday, October 16 starting at 6 PM ET. 

This year’s event, described as not an ordinary tournament but rather “a chance for us to make a real difference in the fight against breast cancer,” promises an exciting competition with a $15,000 guaranteed prize pool and a $55 buy-in, with proceeds benefiting the UBCF. 

The funds raised will go toward supporting the UBCF’s essential work in helping individuals affected by breast cancer.

Last year, the charity tournament attracted over 400 participants and raised $20,000 for the American Cancer Society. 

ACR Poker aims to exceed those figures this year by encouraging the global poker community to unite for a worthy cause while enjoying the game. 

In addition to player contributions, ACR Poker has pledged to match the final prize pool, up to $15,000, as a charitable donation to the UBCF.

ACR Poker’s $1 Million GTD Venom Warmup Tickets Via Live Stream

Poker enthusiasts will be able to follow the action live as the charity tournament will be streamed on ACR Poker’s Twitch channel. 

Throughout the stream, viewers will also have the chance to win $66 tickets to ACR Poker’s $1 Million GTD Venom Warmup with Daily Day 1 Flights running between October 1-27 (258 total), adding even more excitement to the event.

The tournament will be hosted by ACR Pros Katie Lindsay, who has recently scooped up a career-best win of $102,915 during the Moneymaker Tour Aruba Main Event, as well as Ebony Kenney, who joined no less than four final tables during the OSS XL with over $40 million in guaranteed prize pools in September and Svitlana ‘Svetarik’ Dryha, who is a member of ACR Poker’s first-ever ACR Team Online, which she joined in July.

“It’s great to see how much the poker community comes together for these charity events,” Lindsay commented while also praising last year’s tournament “huge success” and expressing hope for the 2024 event to “make an even bigger impact for such an important cause.” 

The poker pro who shows “style and success both on and off the felt” and has an impressive $700,000+ in live earnings and over $2 million in online winnings, also called the charity tournament “a great opportunity to join a fun event while supporting the UBCF’s important work.”
