ACR Run Up Series 2026: $10M GTD, Built for Serious MTT Grinders
- $10M+ in guarantees across 163 ACR poker events, July 12–Aug 17
- Open to Canadian players; $1,000,000 Mystery Bounty for $66 buy-in
- $100,000 leaderboard rewards grinders at all stakes
ACR Run Up Series 2026 features over 160 events, $66 buy-in $1M GTD Mystery Bounty and three Main Events.
For Canadian poker players tired of navigating restricted sites, Americas Cardroom's Run Up Series 2026 is a welcome reminder that big online guarantees are still very much on the table. Running July 12 through August 17, the series stacks over $10 million in guarantees across 163 events, with buy-ins ranging from a beer-money $8.80 up to $1,050 for the top-tier Main Event.
The real headline, though, is the $1,000,000 GTD Mystery Bounty for a $66 buy-in. For a series that's fully accessible to Canadian players (ACR remains one of the few major US-facing rooms still welcoming Canadian accounts), that's an outsized shot at a seven-figure score for beer-league money.

Multiple High Value Run Up Events: This Is Where the Real Value Is Hiding
Canadian players used to hunting for soft, accessible fields will find plenty to like across the five-week schedule. Daily bounty tournaments, PKOs, and mystery bounty formats run alongside a run of High Roller specials, all while feeding points into ACR's largest-ever $100,000 Leaderboard Contest.
| Event | Buy-in | Guarantee | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Run Up #4 Mystery Bounty | $66 | $1,000,000 GTD | Multi-flight, Day 1 daily |

Three Main Events, One Weekend
On top of the $66 buy-in $1M GTD Mystery Bounty, the ACR Run Up Series builds toward three parallel Main Events, all kicking off Day 1 on Sunday, August 16th and finishing Day 2 on Monday, August 17th:
- $750,000 GTD: $1,050 buy-in, the series' crown jewel
- $400,000 GTD: $215 buy-in, solid mid-stakes value
- $200,000 GTD: $33 buy-in, the budget-friendly entry point into the same Main Event action
Whether you're grinding at Canadian-friendly micro stakes or ready to fire a four-figure buy-in, there's a Main Event sized to your roll.
The ACR Run Up Series Leaderboard Grind Pays Too
Every hand you play during the series racks up points toward the $100,000 Leaderboard Contest, funded entirely by Americas Cardroom on top of the standard guarantees. The High and Low board split means Canadian grinders playing $11 buy-ins are competing on a level field, not against high rollers firing $630 events.
| Leaderboard | 1st Place Prize |
|---|---|
| High | $10,000 + Venom NLH Ticket + Venom PLO Ticket |
| Low | $5,000 + Venom NLH Ticket + Venom PLO Ticket |
Both boards pay out in cash, Venom NLH and PLO tickets, and Venom Mega Satellite packages, giving strong finishers a direct line into ACR's next major series. Check the ACR Poker Promo Code page for sign-up bonuses before diving in.
