America’s Cardroom is holding a $5K Micro Race taking place between January 13 and 27. As suggested by the name, this is a race for players at the Micro stakes tables, those being: $0.01/$0.02. $0.02/$0.05 and $0.05/$0.10.
Players earn points for each raked pot to which they contribute. At the close of the two week race period, America’s Cardroom will divide the $5,000 prize pool up among the top finishing players.
Players can earn points even faster by playing in Americas Cardroom’s online satellite tournaments for the Online Super Series II (OSS II). Earn 25 points for buying in to the OSS II $150K GTD Super Satellite: 1 seat GTD, taking place hourly at 5 minutes past the hour from January 13 to 20, or the OSS II $200K GTD Super Satellite: 1 seat GTD taking place hourly at 5 minutes past the hour from January 20 to 27. In both the cases, the satellite buy-ins are $0.50 + $0.05. Again you’ll get 25 points every time you buy-in to one of these satellites.
Otherwise, points are awarded at a rate of the rake or fee multiplied by 1.25. So for every $1 you pay in rake or fee, you get $1.25 points in the $5k Micro Race. Top prize is $500, the runner-up gets $250, and third place earns $220. The prizes go down from there through 100th to 150th place finishers who win $10 each time.
Winning players will receive their winnings in their America’s Cardroom account within 5 days after the end of the $5K Micro Race.
