The Beast Goes Live Today!

Get prepared folks as Americas Cardroom is set to unleash The Beast.

You’ve been reading all about him on the pages of Gambling911.com and now you finally get to meet The Beast face-to-face.

In celebration of Labor Day Weekend, Americas Cardroom is inviting poker players to watch four of the biggest cash game grinders (Dusty Schmidt, Matt "mbolt1" Bolt, Gift of Gab and JohnWallin) battle the tables for honor and pride. They'll be competing for the top spot on The Beast leaderboard and they will do with their webcams on.

"The Beast Live is one of the most innovative things I've seen," said Dusty "Leatherass" Schmidt, a member of Americas Cardroom's Team Elite who will join fellow pro Matt "mbolt" Bolt and top ACR grinders GiFtoFGab and Johnwallin in the month-long poker saga. "Adding a live element to The Beast combines the best aspects of live and online poker."

Fans can watch the action unfold throughout September at www.BeastLive.com. Those with Americas Cardroom accounts can earn $50 by catching one of the grinders with his camera turned off.

The Beast is Americas Cardroom's groundbreaking progressive points race that revolutionizes how jackpots are awarded. It is funded entirely through players' shared contributions at jackpot tables. Instead of doing what most sites do – throw fees into one giant pot that rarely gets distributed – The Beast creates a new jackpot that pops every month.
