ACR Poker to host charity tournament to support breast cancer foundation
The firm will hold its annual online event today with a $15,000 guaranteed prize pool.
US.- ACR Poker is holding its annual online charity tournament in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month today (October 16). The event features a $15,000 guaranteed prize pool and a $55 buy-in, with proceeds going to the United Breast Cancer Foundation (UBCF).
Last year’s charity tournament saw over 400 entrants and raised $20,000 for the American Cancer Society. ACR Poker is looking to surpass those numbers this year. The event will be live-streamed on ACR Poker’s Twitch channel. Viewers can win $66 tickets to ACR Poker’s $1m GTD Venom Warmup during the stream.
The tournament will be hosted by ACR Pros Katie Lindsay and Ebony Kenney. Svitlana ‘Svetarik’ Dryha, who joined ACR Poker’s first-ever ACR Team Online in July, will also present the event.

Last year’s tournament was a huge success, and this year we’re hoping to make an even bigger impact for such an important cause. This is a great opportunity to join a fun event while supporting the UBCF’s important work. We look forward to seeing you at the tables!”
