6-Day Online Poker Tournament ACROSS a Massive Success

The first ever 6-day online poker tournament ACROSS is being heralded as a huge success by the folks who hosted this event,  America’s Card Room.  And they have the numbers to prove it. 

ACROSS stands for America’s Card Room Online Super Series and the event attracted a rather substantial proportion of US card players. In all, $172,427.00 in total prize pool money was paid out, cracking the $150,000 figure that had been guaranteed.

“The success of ACROSS is a big deal for players across America,” stated an America’s Card Room spokesman. “Online poker is thriving in the US and we’re excited to be a major part of it. Our players can look forward to more big deal events like ACROSS in 2012 and beyond.”

ACROSS ran from November 29th through December 4th and guaranteed to pay out $150,000 in prize pool money. The online poker super series included a $25,000 Thanksgiving Day warm-up and a $50,000 guaranteed grand finale.
