Americas Cardroom Announces Huge Tournament Available to US Residents

Wednesday, July 16th, 2014

AmericasCardroom-TableThe Winning Poker Network offers online poker gaming for players around the world, including in the United States. The flagship site for the network is Americas Cardroom and this is where US players get in on the online poker action. The site recently announced they will be offering a mega guaranteed tournament for players to take part in this December.

The event is being called Winning Millions and will have a buy-in of $540. This event will have a $1 million guaranteed prize pool and the first place winner is set to earn at least $200,000. Americas Cardroom will not offer the event until December 14th but will be providing daily feeder tournaments so players can earn this spots early.

The special event is being promoted by Americas Cardroom as the first 7-figure guaranteed event to take place at a site in the US in many years and is hoping that players will turn out for the event. As part of the promotion of the event, the online poker site will also be offering 1 free bank wire to any player who makes it to the final table of the tournament.

For 2014, the Winning Poker Network is trying to grow significantly and this new announcement is certainly part of the plans. In June, the site held the 2nd round of High Five Tournament series game play and saw an exceptional turnout. However, this December tournament is one of massive proportions and makes one wonder if Americas Cardroom will be able to reach the $1 million guarantee.

If the network and cardroom succeeds in hosting the event, with a large turnout, it could help to bring Americas Cardroom into the forefront of poker gaming for residents in the US as well as around the world. Only time will tell and we still have months before the new tournament is set to begin!
