ACR Poker Brings Back Second Mortgage Week for OSS XL
The nosebleed series runs Sept. 21-28 with 10 events, a top buy-in of $25,500 and a Sept. 27 Main Event crossover.
ACR Poker is bringing back Second Mortgage Week for a second run in 2026, slotting 10 nosebleed tournaments across five playing days from Sept. 21-28. The high-stakes stretch sits inside OSS XL and is built around no-limit hold’em and pot-limit Omaha, with both 6-max and 8-max formats in the mix.
As reported in late August, OSS XL is ACR’s 24-day September festival, running Sept. 6-29 with 336 events and more than $50 million in guarantees. The Sept. 9 announcement says Second Mortgage Week is scheduled during OSS XL, and ACR’s OSS XL schedule page separately describes the nosebleed slate as running from $5,000 to $25,000.
The newer announcement puts the Second Mortgage Week buy-ins at $5,200 to $25,500. It also says two of the 10 events use rebuy/add-on structures with no fee on rebuys, and that a player entering all 10 events once would put $97,800 in initial buy-ins on the table before any extra bullets or add-ons.
One notable wrinkle is a Sept. 23 PLO day, with $10,300 and $5,200 options. The schedule also builds toward Sunday, Sept. 27, when the biggest buy-in on the card is a $25,500 NLH 8-Max.
That same Sunday also lines up with OSS XL Main Event action, including Day 1B of the $2.5 million guaranteed $2,650 Main Event and the $2 million guaranteed $1,050 Main Event. The $500,000 guaranteed $66 Main Event reaches Day 2 that day as well.
The run ends Monday, Sept. 28 with a $15,400 NLH 8-Max and a $5,200 NLH 6-Max R/A. ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker said players will get to watch top-level names such as Alex Foxen and David Peters, and every completed final table can be replayed with hole cards exposed.
