Today marks the start of five weeks of exciting poker action on ACR when the Online Super Series Cub3d returns for the sixth edition. Still buzzing from the excitement after āPORKONOMARā won the $8 million GTD Venom, ACR are refusing to let up and are keeping the momentum going with another fantastic series.
Three Series
Just like previous editions of the Online Super Series Cub3d there will be three different series all rolled into one. Something for everyone.
The MOSS - Mini Online Super Series - kicks off the excitement with the smaller buy-in events. Nobody ever feels excluded at ACRāwhen something is going on thereās always a suitable tournament for the recreational player community.
The MOSS runs for two weeks between Sunday February 7th to Sunday 21st, culminating in a $55 buy-in $500,000 GTD Main Event.
After the two week warm up with smaller buy-ins things start to heat up in the OSS - Online Super Series. This is the flagship tournament series where there is still something suitable for all players but now there will be some life-changing money on the table.
The OSS is another two week series that runs between February 22nd to March 7th. But this time the climax will be a $1,000,000 GTD $630 buy-in tournament that will make somebody rich. Real life changing money.
The final week of the OSS Cub3d is the BOSS - Bigger Online Super Series - which caters for the high stakes crowd that canāt get motivated for regular size events.
Again there will be a $1,000,000 GTD Main Event to finish with that this time comes with a sizable $2,650 buy-in.

Chris Moneymaker Signs as ACR Brand Ambassador
Last month, Chris Moneymaker announced that he was walking away from his ambassadorship role with PokerStars. We had no idea if he was calling time on his career, almost 20 years after he started the poker boom.
What happened was ACR Phil Nagy knew which buttons to press to get Moneymaker onside and he will now be representing them as a brand ambassador for the foreseeable future.
Speaking to Poker.org Moneymaker said:
Somehow we started a conversation. I heard what (ACR) was doing, and I heard all the improvements theyāve been making to the site and how theyāre fighting bots. And basically to me it seemed like PokerStars did back in 2004, 2005. Theyāre really trying to grow the game.ā
The former accountant also opened up on why he isnāt calling it a day in his working life just yet.
Iām 45 years old, Iāve got three kids, I canāt not work. But Iām not qualified for anything anymore. I couldnāt do your taxes as good as H&R Block could. My only qualification at this point in life is, ādo you want fries with that?'ā
This signing is a measure of just how far ACR has come over the last couple of years. To prise such a name away from the market leaders shows how serious they are about their future plans.
