ACR Poker Announces Vegas Main Event Satellite Series for June

ACR Poker will run a month-long Vegas Main Event satellite promotion between June 7 and June 28, 2026, offering players the opportunity to qualify for one of poker’s biggest live tournaments through online qualifiers.

The promotion includes at least 40 prize packages valued at $12,500 each, all connected to the 2026 Las Vegas Main Event.

The main qualifying events will take place every Sunday in June at 1:05 PM ET. Each tournament will feature a $630 buy-in and guarantee 10 prize packages.

According to the announced structure, the total number of guaranteed packages may increase if participation exceeds expectations during the series.

Each package contains:

• A $10,000 buy-in to the live Las Vegas Main Event
• $2,500 allocated for travel-related expenses

The live tournament’s Day 1 flights are scheduled for July 2-5 in Las Vegas at the Horseshoe Las Vegas. The final table of the 2026 Main Event is expected to run from August 3-5.

Players who qualify through the promotion but are unable to attend the live event will reportedly receive the full package value credited directly to their poker account balance.

The Vegas Main Event Satellite tournaments will begin with 10,000 starting chips, while blind levels are scheduled to increase every 15 minutes.

Late registration and unlimited re-entry will remain available for the first 16 levels.

In addition to the direct $630 events, ACR Poker is also offering lower-buy-in qualification routes throughout the promotion.

The announced satellite system includes:

• Direct Sunday satellites with $6.60 and $66 buy-ins
• Step qualifiers running during the week
• A progression format of Freeroll → $6.60 → $66 → $630

Players can locate the tournaments through the poker client’s tournament lobby by searching for the keyword “Vegas.”

The target event connected to the promotion remains one of the most prestigious tournaments in live poker, featuring a $10,000 buy-in and attracting thousands of players from around the world annually.

Last year’s edition drew 9,735 entries, with Michael Mizrachi winning the title and the $10 million first-place prize.
