Compete against former world champ poker legend Chris Moneymaker heads-up
As the countdown to the Main Event of Vegas’ hottest summer series begins, ACR Poker is offering poker players the chance to win a “money-can’t-buy” Moneymaker Vegas Experience this July, including a two-week stay in Vegas.
Starting this weekend, ACR Poker players can qualify for a chance to win a heads-up battle with poker legend Chris Moneymaker. After battling each other through various qualifying rounds, two players will each compete against Moneymaker for the opportunity to win a 14-night luxury stay in Las Vegas, $10K buy-in to a Main Event, and an exclusive itinerary of activities around Las Vegas, immersing them in a unique VIP atmosphere.
ACR Poker players can join one of four $8.60 buy-in multi-table tournaments (MTTs) on June 8th, 9th, 15th and 16th (all at 3pm ET) for a chance to win. The top two winners from each MTT will advance to a final 8-handed Sit & Go on Monday, June 17th at 3pm ET. The top two finishers in the Sit & Go final will then face ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker in online heads-up battles on Tuesday, June 18th, playing a best of three.
For poker players looking to witness the action, the epic heads-up matches will be live-streamed on ACR’s Twitch channel. Whoever beats Moneymaker will win an incredible prize package, which includes a round-trip flight, luxury accommodation from July 1st-14th, $10,000 entry to the prestigious Vegas Main Event, entry to an exclusive ACR Pros Meet-up event, plus a unique opportunity to spend time with Moneymaker in Las Vegas.
“This is a great opportunity for poker players to step up their game and experience the thrill of playing in Las Vegas,” said Moneymaker. “I’m looking forward to welcoming the winners to Sin City and giving them a glimpse into life as an ACR Pro. I’m also excited to see who has what it takes to beat me in a heads-up battle!”
The Moneymaker Vegas Experience promotion gives poker players the chance to learn from one of the best in the game. Moneymaker has been on a recent hot streak, finishing in 6th place in ACR Poker’s $12.5 Million GTD Venom tourney, bagging $382,007. He followed that up with a magical win at Event #1 (GG Million$ Live) at the Triton Super High Roller Series in Montenegro, earning $903,000.
Moneymaker also noted that ACR Poker is offering players further opportunities to secure their spot in the Vegas Main Event through a variety of satellite tournaments running throughout June.

Harrah’s Resort Southern California and the Rincon Tribe Debut New Casino Restaurant: Tierra y Mar
Harrah’s Resort Southern California announced the grand opening of Tierra y Mar, an elevated new Baja-inspired concept. Located in the former Salt & Fin space, the new restaurant brings an upscale Baja-inspired dining experience to North San Diego County and elevates the culinary landscape for both local foodies and Southern California casino visitors.
Brought to life by the award-winning national design firm, JCJ Architecture, the 7245-square-foot, 153-seat restaurant delivers a transportive dining escape directly off the gaming floor. Blending the casual glamour of the Baja coast with the modernist elegance of mid-century Mexican architecture, the completely reimagined space fuses Cycladic and Moorish design influences to evoke the charm of an old-world Mexican hacienda and chic coastal resort.
“Memorable dining is a cornerstone of the guest experience here in Funner. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or stopping by for a craft cocktail at the bar, this beautiful new space hits the sweet spot—it’s upscale and sophisticated, yet vibrant and incredibly fun,” said Jill Barrett, Senior Vice President and General Manager.
Key Highlights & Architectural Design Features
This $10.7 million transformation brings the resort’s Mexican-inspired dining offerings together into one premier destination and includes:
• A Transportive Ambiance & Design: As guests move past a striking entry portal framed by warm wood columns and layered archways, they leave the casino behind and enter an environment defined by handcrafted wood ceiling beams, tropical plantings, and natural stone. A unique mosaic fractured tile pathway grounds the restaurant, guiding guests from the lively bar into the intimate main dining room.
• Elevated Culinary Selection: The menu showcases Chef Bryan Texis’ interpretation of Mexican cuisine, featuring authentic, vibrant flavors inspired by Baja California and Mexico’s diverse regions. The menu pairs traditional dishes—such as Beef Birria, Camarones al Diablo, and Classic Pescado al Talla—with new takes on traditional ingredients.
• Vibrant Tequila Bar & Artisanal Private Dining: The space features a lively tequila and mezcal bar featuring over 35 premium tequilas and mezcals beneath a dramatic chandelier. Beyond a unique breeze block wall, the restaurant offers intimate booths, alcoves, and an elegant private dining room accented by custom rope and bead-and-ball privacy screens designed to host up to 14 guests.
• 7-Day Seamless Operations: Tierra y Mar will operate seven days a week, serving lunch and dinner Monday through Friday, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturdays and Sundays. The opening also marks the closure of the former Salt & Fin and ’ritas Cantina venues.
“We are always looking for ways to bring fresh, exciting spaces to life on the property, and this $10.7 million transformation fits into that vision perfectly. Coming right on the heels of our High Limit area renovation, Tierra y Mar brings even more new energy to the property,” said Rincon Chairman Steve Stallings.
