ACR Punter's Pad Returns for Season 3 with $115K Las Vegas Challenge

Americas Cardroom has rolled out the first episode of Punter's Pad Season 3 on YouTube featuring five ACR Team Pros living together in a Las Vegas mansion while competing for a $115,000 Triton London package of tourney buy-ins and first class airfare.

Ryan Depaulo, Ebony Kenney, Drew Gonzalez, Rob Kuhn and Jon Pardy are the handful of poker pros gunning for the Triton London experience. All five will compete in various challenges over the summer to determine the winner.

The main challenge will take place on the tables of the 2023 WSOP as each contestant has been given $20,000 in buy-in money. Whoever spins it up to the largest amount of winnings will travel across the pond in late July.

"You're going to play all summer at different WSOP events, $20,000 total leading up to the Main Event," fellow ACR Team Pro Chris Moneymaker informed the group. "Whoever has the highest earnings....for you guys, the lowest losses, gets to go to London."

There are additional weekly challenges that the Triton London hopefuls will partake in, the first was on the golf course - a putting contest. The four putters who didn't win then have to hope to receive votes from the public to keep from being the biggest loser of the first weekly challenge.

The ACR Team Pro with the least votes faces the disadvantage of having to late max register in the first WSOP tournament that all the contestants will compete in. Jon Pardy is excused from the vote tallies as he won the putting contest by one stroke.

Pardy was also featured in the first episode of Punter's Pad Season 3. The Canadian described his journey from pro hockey wannabe up to and including his life as an Americas Cardroom ambassador.

In-between, Pardy overcame physical injuries that derailed his hockey dream, as well as a substance abuse addiction. A victory in Season 2 of Big Brother Canada and an appearance on Bill Perkins' Thirst Lounge were also part of his amazing journey.

All in all, this year's version of Punter's Pad looks to be quite intriguing for poker fans the world over. Take a look at the first episode below:
