ACR played out Moneymaker's WSOP bubble bust-out
July 28, 2026
ACR Poker has announced a special tournament, The Moneymaker Bubble Effect. The event, with a $0.10 buy-in and a $10,000 guarantee, is dedicated to Chris Moneymaker's bust on the bubble of the WSOP Main Event 2026.
The tournament's key feature is a prize for the last player who fails to make the money. The bubble boy will receive a seat in the Dual Mystery Bounty Venom worth $2,650 — 26,500 times the buy-in. The remaining participants will split the prize pool in the usual manner.
The idea came about after Moneymaker himself ended his run in the WSOP Main Event this summer right on the bubble. ACR Poker decided to turn the player's bust into a marketing tournament with a unique payout structure.
