San Jose, Costa Rica –Winning at poker is all about making smart choices at the tables. This weekend, online poker players will be faced with a big decision as Americas Cardroom has scheduled two massive guarantees within an hour of each other.
The US-friendly online poker site is hosting a 10-Package Punta Cana Poker Classic guarantee on Sunday, July 14th at 6:00pm ET and a $100,000 Guaranteed tournament at 7:00pm ET.
"We don't see this as a scheduling conflict, we see it as an amazing multi-tabling opportunity," stated Michael Harris, spokesperson for Americas Cardroom. "There's a lot of big money on the table this Sunday with two huge events and we can't wait to see how it all unfolds."
Sunday's $100,000 Guaranteed tournament kicks off at 7:00pm ET on Sunday, July 14th. The buy-in for the tournament is $200+15, and low buy-in qualifiers are available leading up to the event. The $100k follows a 10-package Punta Cana Poker Classic event at 6:00pm, which features a $50+5 buy-in.
The 10-package Punta Cana Poker Classic guarantee is part of The Beast leaderboard competition, a monthly progressive points race that rewards hundreds of players a month with cash prizes and tournament entries—just for playing at specially marked cash tables.
Players who ranked on the leaderboard in the month of June have earned a spot in the tournament, however the event is open to players—including those who have never played The Beast. Each $4,100 package includes one Main Event buy-in, 6-night hotel accommodations for one, all-you-can-handle food and drinks (alcohol included), a $1,500 resort credit, 24-hour premium room service, a welcome gift bag, airport-hotel-airport transportation in Punta Cana, $800 for travel, access to a 24/7 VIP support line, and more.
Entering its fourth year, the Punta Cana Poker Classic tournament takes place at the Vegas-style Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Dominican Republic from November 11th through 17th with a guaranteed prize pool of $500,000.
Unlike previous Caribbean tournaments hosted by other poker networks where online poker players had to purchase expensive food and alcohol, the Punta Cana Poker Classic awards Americas Cardroom winners with a bracelet that gives them access to unlimited food and beverages 24/7. Hotel rooms are well stocked with beer and liquor, room service is available whenever poker players crave it, and over a dozen restaurants and delis are ready to cater to package winners.
More information on the $100k Guarantee and the 10-package event are available at AmericasCardroom.eu.
