San Jose, Costa Rica – July 14, 2014 – Poker in America is officially back. Americas Cardroom today announced Winning Millions, a $1 million guaranteed poker tournament set to get underway on December 14th, 2014. The historic online poker tournament will feature the single biggest online poker prize pool US players have seen since April 2011. Qualifiers for the $500+$40 buy-in tournament will be available soon.
“We’ve hosted some big poker tournaments before, but seven figures have been completely foreign to US players for well over three years now,” stated Michael Harris, spokesperson for Americas Cardroom. “We’re excited to raise the bar and set a new standard for poker in America with a $1 million tournament prize pool that’s reminiscent of the glory days.”
Winning Millions is a Texas Hold’em tournament featuring a $500+$40 buy-in, scheduled for December 14th, 2014. It features a $1 million guaranteed prize pool, but the final number could grow even bigger given Americas Cardroom’s history of eclipsing their guaranteed tournaments.
Thanks to the fastest payouts in the industry, easy deposits, and a tournament schedule that puts players first, Americas Cardroom has continued to attract new players to their community in record numbers. The $1 million tournament announcement is likely to push traffic at Americas Cardroom to new heights, ultimately leading to bigger prize pools in other tournaments as new players join the community.
The first place finisher will take home $200,000 guaranteed, and Americas Cardroom is doing everything they can to push more players into the tournament. The $1 million guaranteed represents quite a leap forward when you consider than the total guarantee for the entire 2013 Online Super Series was $1 million, but that figure was spread over 14 days of events.
Winning Millions promises $200,000 for the winner and will be a $500+$40 buy-in. It will provide 10,000 starting stack and five hours of late registration. There will be 15-minute blinds with an extended level structure. Each of the top nine finishers will earn one free bank wire to help facilitate faster and more fluid payouts.
The satellite schedule will be “aggressive”, according to Dan Kent, tournament director for WPN.
Starting this Wednesday, there will be no less than eight qualifiers running daily, with an additional two sit-n-go’s running 24 hours a day. Buy-ins for these qualifiers range from no cost, “step” freerolls to nightly $109 satellites with at least two seats to the $1 million event guaranteed.
The Winning Millions announcement is the latest in a string of impressive promotions revealed by WPN this summer. In July, the network added $90,000 to its Beast cash game and “Sit and Crush” promotions. Prior to that, WPN added a $20,000 guaranteed high roller event to its already-stacked Sunday tournament schedule.
