If you want the biggest tournaments running anywhere online right now, there’s no debate:

ACR Poker’s Highest Five is the place to be.

Massive buy-ins. Elite competition. Six-figure payouts.

And now — a signature win from one of poker’s most iconic champions.

Chris Moneymaker Ships $170,850

ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker has added another title to his legendary resume, taking down the BIG Fatty 6-Max for $170,850.

In a field loaded with top-tier competition, Moneymaker navigated one of the toughest lineups of the week to secure the win — proving once again that he’s still a force in today’s high-stakes environment.

The Biggest Online Events This Week — Period

The Highest Five isn’t just another series — it’s delivering the largest high-stakes tournaments currently running online.

Across the schedule, players can still expect:

  • $10,300 High Roller buy-ins
  • $15,400 marquee events
  • Prize pools consistently hitting $400K–$500K+
  • Final tables stacked with the who’s who of poker

Recent events have already produced:

  • $510,000 prize pool (BIG Fatty 6-Max)
  • $1,325,000 prize pool (Phil’s $25K Puff & Bluff)
  • $530,000 prize pool (Highest Five)
  • $420,000 prize pool (Blunt Special 6-Max)
  • $290,000 prize pool (Blunt Special)

This is where the best players are showing up — and where the biggest money is being won.

From WSOP Champion to Modern Crusher

Moneymaker’s win isn’t just a feel-good story — it’s a statement.

  • 2003 WSOP Main Event Champion ($2.5M)
  • Catalyst for the global poker boom
  • Still competing — and winning — at the highest levels

He’s proven it recently on the live stage with a $903K Triton Poker victory, and now he’s doing it online in one of the toughest series of the year. His $170,850 score ranks among the largest scores of the week — earned the hard way.

Not Just Highest Five — The Action Doesn’t Stop
