Foxen, Hunichen, and Kornuth: New ACR Pros

Three new top pros join the team

On the opening day of the 2026 WSOP, ACR Poker unveiled a major addition to its roster of professionals. Three truly famous players joined the team.

Alex Foxen, Chris Hunichen, and Chance Kornuth officially became the newest ACR Pros.

Speculation about Foxen joining an online poker brand first emerged a week before the official announcement. ACR CEO Phil Nagy shared a social media post featuring Foxen wearing a custom T-shirt with the ACR logo. To boost engagement around the reveal, the company also launched a contest for the best player-designed T-shirt.

Alex Foxen did it! @WPN_CEO did it!
Now it’s your turn.

Make your own ACR tee shirt, snap a picture, and post it here along with your ACR screen name.
We’ll credit your account with a tournament ticket 🎟️

We even dropped the ACR logo in the comments for you to copy and use.✍️ pic.twitter.com/DXQ01aglOb

The collaboration with Chris Hunichen and Chance Kornuth came as a complete surprise to most players, especially considering Chris's face had been featured on the Team Pro Phenom Poker page until the very last minute.

There's no doubt the timing of the new ambassadors' announcement was no coincidence. All three players will definitely be participating in the World Series of Poker's most prestigious tournaments wearing ACR Poker patches, at a time when the WSOP has banned similar patches from other poker rooms.

For reference, Team ACR Poker is divided into several categories: Pros, Team Online, Stormers, and Ambassadors. The Pro roster currently includes 13 players and is led by Chris Moneymaker. 

What are the new ambassadors known for?

Alex Foxen is widely regarded as one of the top tournament players of the modern era. He currently ranks ninth on the all-time live tournament money list with more than $56 million in earnings. Four of the biggest scores of his career have come in WSOP High Roller events over the last four years (two bracelets):

Alex is married to one of the strongest female poker players, Kristen Foxen.
