ACR qualifiers bag six-figure scores in Paradise

Bracelets and life-changing scores came the way of ACR satellite grinders this month, including one impressive prize for an $11 qualifier.

WSOP Paradise broke records left, right, and centre, not only for the WSOP but also for a host of satellite qualifiers. 

ACR may not have been the headline sponsor of the event, but they still sent 100 satellite qualifiers to play in the $26,000 Super Main Event. They didn't capture an eight-figure prize like Bernhard Binder, but plenty of players padded their bankrolls. 

Dmitry Lukyanov, for example, turned an $11 ACR satellite win into a package, which he then turned into a $55,000 finish after coming 251st. 

Canadian Leonardo Song-Carillo won his seat courtesy of a $1,050 satellite and went on to finish in 78th, which earned him $107,500. You can learn more about him here. 

A bracelet for Love

The happiest ACR player of all, however, will be Imari Love. 

He wasn't able to cash the Super Main Event, but he did close out Paradise in style, taking down the $2,500 Closer Turbo Bounty. 

He defeated a field of 509 players to capture his first bracelet and a $142,725 pay day. 

The unlikely collaboration between ACR and the WSOP led to some impressive paydays. It looks likely that ACR players will have more chances at bracelets in 2026 when satellites start to the WSOPE, WSOP and WSOPP next year.
