America’s Cardroom Tourney brings most players ever and record-breaking GTD $10 million prize pool

Americas Cardroom’s latest Venom tournament ended last night in thrilling fashion and set a new record with the most entrants along with the largest-ever $10 Million guarantee.

“The $10 Million Venom was the biggest tourney in our history and a great success,” said legendary poker player Chris Moneymaker “The 3,930 total entrants made for our biggest turnout ever and because we fell only 70 buy-ins short of meeting the guarantee, we were more than happy to make up the small difference.”

Last night’s Final Table was broadcast live on Twitch, with Michael Loncar and Justin Kelly two of the commentators. They also host the popular ACR Show on Twitch that runs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 3pm ET. The third commentator was Chris Moneymaker, a recent ACR Team Pro addition and the 2003 WSOP Main Event champ.

The 8-player Final Table moved quickly, wrapping up in just over 2.5 hours. Online poker player ‘BabyBowser’ was the last man standing (or sitting in this case), taking home a whopping $1,514,000. Player ‘sw33ney’ won $1,015,200 for second place. This was the first time that two $1 Million winners were guaranteed in the Venom.

The makeup of the final table also showed Americas Cardroom’s growing presence around the world. There were two players from the U.S. (including BabyBowser), and another two each from the UK, Brazil and Canada.

The $10 Million GTD Venom was Americas Cardroom’s 5th Holdem edition and has doubled in size since the $5 Million GTD Venom debuted in July 2019. The multi-day, multi-flight tourney runs four times per year, split between Holdem and Progressive Knock Out (PKO) formats.

Leading poker site Americas Cardroom today announced the biggest development in its storied 22-year history.  The popular online poker destination will now operate under the ACR Poker banner with a refreshed modern logo. The development coincides with the launch of ACR Poker’s innovative new software, which features a modern look and feel, improved navigation, and a variety of player-centric updates.

“We’re thrilled to usher in the next era of online poker with the relaunch of ACR Poker and our brand-new software,” stated Chris Moneymaker, ACR Pro. “This is our most significant update ever to both our poker client and website, which delivers a great new look and feel.”

ACR believes that big poker is the best poker, so want to make the experience on ACR great for all players from recreational players to professional players.

The update also includes multiple features to protect new and recreational players. Predatory behavior such as targeting will be limited now as players can only start one game at a time in a cash game group and can’t sit on waiting lists to get on an individual table based on who is sitting at that table.

The new website has also been completely redesigned for a cleaner, more user-friendly experience with links to a full platform range (mobile and desktop). There’s also a new store that offers a big selection of never-before-seen merchandise.

In 2022, ACR Poker awarded $650 million in tournament prizes, with first-place prizes accounting for $98 million. ACR Poker dealt more than 31 million hands in May 2023 alone, making it a favorite for seasoned and new players alike.

AMERICAS CARDROOM’S DAILY DOUBLE PROMO BRINGS ADDED EXCITEMENT WITH NEW PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT

Published

on

 

Americas Cardroom (ACR) today announced that its new Daily Double will be starting on Tuesday, May 30th. The promotion allows players to potentially win life-changing money every day for a small investment.

“Poker players are always looking for a little extra excitement and, of course, the chance to win a big chunk of change,” stated Chris Moneymaker, Team Pro at Americas Cardroom. “The Daily Double accomplishes both, especially with the new progressive jackpot.”

The Daily Double is two sets of Multi-Table Tournaments (MTTs) every day that each start 30 minutes apart. The first set is named after ACR Team Pro Michael Loncar and the second is named after ACR Team Pro Jeff Boski.

Each tournament pays out 98.5% of the prize pool daily, and the remaining 1.5% feeds a separate progressive jackpot. Players win part or all of the progressive jackpot by final tabling or winning both Loncar or Boski tourneys on the same day. And the jackpots are on top of the regular tournament prize money.

Moneymaker added that while both jackpots are expected to grow big over the first year, the Loncar one should really stand out, reaching well over $100,000 in the first year. Every Loncar tourney comes with an $88 buy-in and is $30,000 GTD from Monday through Saturday and $50,000 GTD on Sunday.
