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.
