The summer tournament grind is underway, and ACR Poker is throwing some extra cash into the mix. Alongside the standard tournament schedules, they have launched the Sun Run Series Leaderboard Competition, giving away a $15,500 prize pool.
The cool part? The site fully funds it. On some poker networks, leaderboard prizes are secretly funded by the players themselves through extra rake or by skimming a percentage off the tournament prize pools. ACR is paying for the entire $15,500 out of their own pocket, meaning the tournament guarantees stay exactly as promised, and this is just pure, extra cash on top.
The series kicked off yesterday, June 14th, but don’t worry about getting a late start. The leaderboard runs until June 28th, so you still have two full weeks to get your volume in and climb the rankings.
Here is a quick look at how it works and what you can win.
You don’t need to do anything to opt in. Just play any official Sun Run Series events. However, you do have to perform! Points are only given to players who successfully make the money.
Once you cash, your points are calculated using this straightforward formula: Square Root of the Prize Pool divided by the Square Root of your Finishing Place.
Because of how the math works out, locking up a deep run or a final table in a tournament with a massive prize pool will skyrocket you up the standings much faster than just min-cashing a bunch of small events. To secure a spot in the top tier, you must play to win.
The top 10 players on the final leaderboard will walk away with a mix of raw cash and seats into ACR’s flagship tournament, The Venom.
| Position | The Prize |
| 1st Place | $2,650 Venom Ticket + $2,500 Cash |
| 2nd Place | $2,650 Venom Ticket + $1,000 Cash |
| 3rd Place | $2,650 Venom Ticket |
| 4th Place | $1,500 Cash |
| 5th Place | $750 Cash |
| 6th – 10th Place | Tournament Ticket Packages ($360 value each) |
If you were already planning to play the Sun Run Series, this is literally free money. You don’t have to pay anything extra to participate.
Landing in the top three is a massive bankroll booster, especially for micro-to-mid-stakes players. Walking away with a $2,650 Venom ticket gives you a completely free shot at a massive multi-million dollar prize pool later on, while the extra cash helps smooth out the usual tournament variance.
Since everything only started yesterday, the field is completely wide open. Fire up the client, pick your events, and you can track your progress on their real-time leaderboard page.
