Main Events and Leaderboard Battles Heat Up the ACR Poker Online Super Series

The race for the top spot is officially on. The ACR Poker Online Super Series (OSS) has been churning out massive prize pools since it kicked off, but the intensity has reached a boiling point following this past weekend's action. The $20 million guaranteed festival hit a crucial juncture on Sunday, May 17, when a trio of massive Main Events got underway with their opening flights. 

With $4 million in combined guarantees currently in the lobby and the $30,500 OSS leaderboard races tightening up, the final stretch of the series promises some of the most competitive digital poker of the year.

To keep the player pools fresh and massive, ACR Poker leaves Fridays and Saturdays completely empty on the OSS schedule. This funnel effect pushed all the heavy traffic toward yesterday's major kickoff.

At 11:05 a.m. ET on May 17, three separate Main Events launched their Day 1A flights:

• The High Roller: $2,650 buy-in ($1.5 Million GTD)

• The Mid-Major: $1,050 buy-in ($1.5 Million GTD)

• The Value Play: $215 buy-in ($1 Million GTD)

Players who bagged chips will enjoy the week off before returning for Day 2 on Monday, May 25. Those who busted, or simply missed the Sunday action—can jump into the Day 1B flights this coming Sunday, May 24.

With $30,500 in extra cash and tickets up for grabs, the High and Low OSS leaderboards have become fiercely competitive.

In the High Leaderboard division (tracking events $33 and above), "VASORTFLAM" has established an early lead over "INAUSPICIOUS" and "POTOFGREED." Over in the Low Leaderboard division (events under $33), "UNLUKYDUCK82" is forcing the pace, leaving "WSTINSON" and "CRAZY 8S" to play catch-up. 

Beyond the standard Main Events, ACR Poker’s robust multi-flight schedule is keeping the lobbies packed. The $630 Main Multi-Flight is steadily building toward its $1 million guarantee, running daily flights until May 25.

The Mystery Bounty craze is also alive and well. Players can hunt for massive envelopes in the $109 buy-in ($750K GTD), the $33 buy-in ($150K GTD), or the incredibly affordable $5.50 buy-in ($75K GTD).
