In April 2026, the legendary ‘420’ High Five Series will finally return to the Winning Poker Network, but this time in a high roller format.

What Is The High Five Series?
The Hi5 series ran on ACR Poker between 2016 and 2024 in April semi-regularly, as a love letter to 420 culture. This series didn’t make a comeback only in 2025 because ACR Poker decided to hold The Dual Venom instead.
Along with the thematic design of promotional materials, the Hi5 tournaments were always named using the corresponding 420 slang. As a result, the schedule was full of events as Sticky Icky Icky, 7CardSativa, Wake&Bake, The Roach as well as Im SO High Roller, MegaStash, Late Toke, Vaporizer, etc.
One of the funniest quirks for this series was giving all players a 10 minute courtesy break at 04:20 pm ET.
The Highest 5 Details & Schedule
After a year hiatus, The High Five Series appeared in the ACR Poker lobby but in a now new unexpected format.
On February 25th, WPN CEO Phil Nagy published a seemingly humorous announcement on X (Twitter), combining The Highest 5 schedule with a photo of high-roller Martin Zamani, known for his favorable attitude towards the recreational herb.
Shortly after this post, the series was confirmed by ACR Poker when the schedule appeared in their lobby.
According to the lobby, ten different tournaments titled The Highest 5 will run from April 19th to 23rd, 2026. None of them have a guarantee but all are high rollers with the highest-ever buy-ins for WPN.
As you’ll see, the naming tradition hasn’t changed:
| Tournament | Start time | Date |
|---|---|---|
| $25,500 The Highest 5 | 14:30 ET | April 19, 2026 |
| $5,200 The Highest 5 – Blunt Special | 15:30 ET | April 19, 2026 |
| $10,300 The Highest 5 – BIG Fatty | 13:05 ET | April 20, 2026 |
| $5,200 The Highest 5 – Blunt Special 6-Max R/A | 14:05 ET | April 20, 2026 |
| $10,300 The Highest 5 – BIG Fatty 6-Max | 13:05 ET | April 21, 2026 |
| $5,200 The Highest 5 – Blunt Special | 14:05 ET | April 21, 2026 |
| $10,300 The Highest 5 – Full Baked PLO 6-Max | 13:05 ET | April 22, 2026 |
| $5,200 The Highest 5 – Half Baked PLO 6-Max R/A | 14:05 ET | April 22, 2026 |
| $15,400 The Highest 5 – Last Dab | 13:05 ET | April 23, 2026 |
| $5,200 The Highest 5 – Last Blunt Special | 14:05 ET | April 23, 2026 |
It isn’t clear yet if the series will have other tournaments. The only additional information announced alongside the schedule is:
- There will be a leaderboard with undisclosed prizes
- Points will be awarded towards the leaderboard only for reaching ITM
- All series events will have a final table rollback feature
How to Find The Highest 5 on ACR Poker
Check the Tournaments tab of ACR Poker lobby and search there for Highest to see all eligible events.
The registration is open for all these events but satellites are available only for events with a $10,300 buy-in — they are the same as for the weekly Phil’s Thrill event.
