ACR Poker’s High Five series wrapped up in a big way, delivering its most successful run yet—and doing it in true 4/20 fashion.
This wasn’t just another tournament series. The High Five leaned fully into the theme, mixing big guarantees, wild formats, and a schedule that kept the action flowing all week long.
Across 61 events, the combined High Five and Highest Five schedule generated a massive $9.65 million in prize pools, bringing together players at every level for one of the busiest stretches on the platform this year.
This year also introduced the Highest Five, adding nosebleed tournaments with buy-ins up to $25,500—the biggest stakes ever seen on ACR Poker.
Standout Moments from the Series
The schedule produced no shortage of big moments, especially at the top end.
ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker added another major result to his resume, taking down the BIG Fatty 6-Max for $170,850. The event had a $510,000 prize pool and drew a tough field, making it one of the standout wins of the series.
ACR Poker also hosted the largest buy-in tournament in its history. The $25,500 buy-in Phil’s Puff & Bluff brought in 53 entries and generated a $1,325,000 prize pool, showing just how strong the Highest Five schedule really was.
Another highlight was the Highest Five Last Dab, a $15,400 buy-in event that reached an $810,000 prize pool, adding even more depth to the high-stakes lineup.
More Than Just Tournament Wins
Alongside the main events, the series also featured a three-tier leaderboard contest, awarding $25,000 in prizes and one of the most unique trophies in poker—the Golden Bong.
