ACR Poker players delivered standout performances at the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event in the Bahamas, transforming online satellite entries into deep runs and big results in the largest guaranteed live poker tournaments ever staged.
The $26,000 buy-in Main Event carried a historic $60 million guarantee and drew a massive international field to Paradise Island. When registration closed, the prize pool surged to $72,275,000.
A total of 100 players earned their seats through our online satellites. Seventeen of those qualifiers reached the money, combining for $1,175,000 in cashes.
From Online Satellites to Big Live Results
Several ACR Poker qualifiers converted their online starts into memorable finishes.
Canadian player Leonardo Song-Carrillo qualified via a $1,050 satellite and went on to place 78th in the Super Main Event, earning $107,500.
Another strong performance came from Dmitry Lukyanov, who began his run in an $11 super satellite. He parlayed that small buy-in into a $30,000 WSOP Paradise package and finished 251st, collecting $55,000.
These results highlight how affordable online satellites can open the door to meaningful success in elite live fields.

Imari Love captured his first World Series of Poker bracelet in Event #15: $2,500 The Closer Turbo Bounty. Love outlasted a 509-player field before defeating Blaz Zerjav heads-up to earn $145,725 and the title.
