ACR Poker Pros Shine Early at 2026 WSOP
ACR`s new ambassador trio has made an immediate impact in Las Vegas. Alex Foxen, Chance Kornuth, and Chris Hunichen have already reached final tables at the 2026 World Series of Poker, combining for more than $549,000 in WSOP cashes and putting ACR Poker firmly in the spotlight.
At the end of May, ACR Poker made a major statement by adding three big-name ambassadors to its roster just as the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas was getting underway. The timing could hardly have been better, because the new signings have already started making serious noise at the tables.
ACR New Pros Start Fast at the WSOP
The newest ambassadors for Americas Cardroom have wasted no time making an impact at the 2026 World Series of Poker. Alex Foxen, Chance Kornuth, and Chris Hunichen all reached final tables during the early phase of the Las Vegas festival, combining for $549,385 in WSOP earnings and putting ACR Poker firmly in the spotlight.
Foxen delivered the biggest result of the trio with a 4th-place finish in Event #7: $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold’em Championship, earning $300,000. The multiple bracelet winner and two-time GPI Player of the Year once again showed why he is regarded as one of the most consistent elite tournament players of his generation.
Kornuth added another major score for the team in Event #24: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed, finishing 6th for $218,091. Known not only for his results but also for his strategic work through Chip Leader Coaching, Kornuth continues to combine high-stakes experience with deep tournament knowledge.
Hunichen, widely known as “Big Huni,” also joined the early final-table run. He finished 7th in Event #25: $500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em for $31,294, adding another WSOP result to a résumé that already includes his huge 2024 $100,000 High Roller bracelet win for more than $2.8 million.
With Foxen, Kornuth, and Hunichen already producing results in Las Vegas, ACR Poker’s expanded pro team has started the summer in strong fashion. And with several weeks of WSOP action still ahead, there are plenty of chances for the new ambassadors to build on that early momentum.
Behind the WSOP Curtain
Chris Moneymaker is taking poker fans behind the scenes of his summer in Las Vegas with a new WSOP YouTube vlog series. The 2003 WSOP Main Event champion and ACR Poker pro is documenting his 2026 World Series of Poker journey, giving viewers a deeper look beyond chip counts, payouts, and tournament results.
The series captures the real rhythm of the WSOP grind: daily routines, pressure spots, key decisions, emotional swings, and the long hours that define poker’s biggest annual festival. That insight carries even more weight coming from Moneymaker, whose iconic 2003 Main Event victory helped ignite the global poker boom after he turned a small online satellite entry into a $2.5 million world championship win.
