Just when it looked like the poker world was winding down for the holidays, Americas Cardroom is kicking things into overdrive. The US-friendly online poker room is hosting a $50,000 Guaranteed online poker tournament this Sunday, December 18th at 6pm ET and packing its schedule with low buy-in satellites to help players get into it.
The $50,000 Guaranteed No Limit Hold’em tourney includes the option of one re-buy and one add-on, and costs $75+7.50 to register. On Friday, Americas Cardroom will host 13 satellites per day to help players win a seat. On Saturday December 17th and Sunday, December 18th, the day of the tournament, Americas Cardroom is packing the satellite schedule with even more qualifiers.
Over the last few months, Americas Cardroom has continuously increased the guarantees of its big weekly tournaments and added even larger monthly tournaments like Sunday’s big event to the mix.
The online poker site attributes being able to offer more attractive guarantees to the healthy growth of their community, a sign that online poker in the United States is thriving.
“This weekend’s $50,000 tournament represents a big part of our growth in 2011,” stated Americas Cardroom spokesman Julius Maxwell. “We’re closing out the year with some big promotions including a $65,000 Points Race and special holiday freerolls. But it’s what’s in store for 2012 that’s really going to get players excited. Stay tuned.”
