Punta Cana, Dominican Republic – Vegas might be on the minds of online poker players all over the world, but this weekend the attention is shifting to Punta Cana. Americas Cardroom is holding its first big guaranteed tournament for this November's Punta Cana Poker Classic. The online poker site is holding a 10-package guarantee for the Punta Cana Poker Classic on June 9th at 6:00pm ET. The buy-in for the event is only $50+5.
"To all those players who couldn't join us for our last land-based event in Peru, it's time to make up for it," stated Michael Harris, spokesperson for Americas Cardroom. "We're throwing 10 packages on the table—guaranteed—so if you're looking for an easy way to get to paradise, Sunday is your day."
The 10-package guarantee gets underway on June 9th at 6:00pm ET and costs just $50+5 to get into. Satellites run daily at 6:35pm ET for just $7+0.70, with each satellite paying out one seat in the Sunday event. Americas Cardroom is also hosting hourly qualifiers at 35 minutes past every hour for just $0.50+0.05.
Each of the $4,100 packages to be awarded on Sunday includes:
• $1,500+150 buy-in to the Main Event with $500,000 Guaranteed
• 6-night accommodations (single occupancy) at the Hard Rock Hotel Casino Punta Cana
• Round trip airfare up to $800
• Ground transportation to/from Punta Cana (PUJ) International Airport
• All-inclusive premium food and beverages
• A welcome gift bag
• 24-hour premium room service
• $1,500 Resort Credit to spend on spa, golf, and tours at the hotel
• 24/7 VIP Support Line
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.
The 10-package guarantee is just part of Americas Cardroom's lineup of Sunday tournaments. Also on the schedule is a $100,00 Guaranteed event at 7:00pm ET. More information on both tournaments can be found at AmericasCardroom.eu.
