5k Points Race for Micro Stakes Players Kicks Off at Americas Cardroom

"No matter what your bankroll is like, the next two weeks at Americas Cardroom are custom built for you," said Americas Cardroom spokesperson Michael Harris. "Our $1 million Guaranteed OSS II series is built for serious tournament players and our $5k Micro Race is designed to reward even the most casual online poker player who sticks to small stakes. No matter what your game is, we've got you covered with big rewards over the next few weeks."

OSS II is Americas Cardroom's signature online poker series. The $1 million guaranteed Online Super Series features 82 events spread out over two weeks. The series will culminate in a $200,000 guaranteed tournament, with $75k, $100k, and $150k tournaments thrown into the mix, too. OSS II also includes leaderboard competitions with extra prizes on the line for the top performers in the series. OSS II runs from January 13th through January 27th, and low buy-in qualifiers are now running.

Also launching on January 13th is the $5k Micro Race, a points race just for small-stakes cash game players. Any player who sits down at micro-stakes ring game tables will automatically compete in the $5k Micro Race. Micro stakes tables include $0.01/$0.02, $0.02/$0.05, and $0.05/$0.10 tables. Americas Cardroom will award points to players who contribute to a pot where rake is collected. Points will be awarded at a rate of rake x 1.25.

At the end of the 2-week period, Americas Cardroom will spread the $5k prize pool among the top ranked players. Funds will be credited to the winners' accounts in real cash within five days of the completion of the points race.

Micro-stakes players eyeing the large OSS II series are in luck. By playing $0.55 OSS II satellites, players will earn 25 additional points toward the $5k Micro Race leaderboard.
