Big Payouts and Super High Roller Series Cyprus Packages Handed Out at Americas Cardroom

Americas Cardroom hosted a great deal of action over the weekend, resulting in a number of players earning big payouts or massive packages. Such is the nature of real money online poker that events which promise big prizes tend to attract big fields, so the eventual winners certainly deserve their rewards.

First, the $420,000 GTD High Five Main Event had a total of 2,276 entries and generated $910,400 in prize money. As many as 270 players managed to make the money, with the eventual top places and their respective prizes being the following after a Final Table deal was made:

1st wmxkp1 – $119,596
2nd МаМа На Ра6оТе – $112,746
3rd AlwaysBullish – $108,328

It doesn’t seem fitting to name an event a ‘warm-up’ when it comes with a guaranteed prize pool of $350,000, but the $350,000 GTD Sunday Warm-Up not surprisingly proved to be a great success, the money up for grabs for the $109 buy-in tournament being too much to resist. In fact, another guaranteed total was broken, with as many as 450 players winning a share of the $404,200 that the 4,042 total entries produced. That’s quite a warm-up!

After a two-way Final Table deal, the following three took top honours:

1st AlwaysBullish – $57,340
2nd Shammy oshea G – $54,379
3rd HeartofTheOcean – $34,882

Sunday’s $250,000 GTD Euro Hash Special lived up to its name and was special enough to also have a very big field, the 1,745 entries seeing the guarantee smashed by almost $100,000! When the dust had finally settled, 198 players walked away with a chunk of the eventual $349,000 in total payouts, the podium for this $215 buy-in tournament consisting of:

1st pagodeiro31 -$58,457
2nd redventure – $42,961
3rd jeromewinnd – $32,631

Finally, the $250,000 GTD Sunday Special continued the theme, this popular $215 buy-in tournament drawing 1,490 total entrants and a prize pool that reached $298,000:

1st JimmyBurke7 -$50,570
2nd Tschee – $37,250
3rd AWesker999 -$28,280

High Stakes Adventure: Cyprus Qualifiers

As if all that money wasn’t enough, ACR also handed over two fantastic Cyprus prize packages. There are poker packages, and there are Americas Cardroom packages… In this case, the winners must feel like all their Christmases and birthdays have come at once, as they will get to play in a Super High Roller Series with a difference in May, with each package worth an eye-watering $125,000 – that’s a whopping $110,000 in tournament buy-ins/entry fees plus a handy $15,000 for travel and expenses. It’s difficult to put such sums for a package in perspective when you consider that the amount set aside for buy-ins is as much as some tournaments actually pay out…

The winners were Haftbefehl and CPUrul0r and, if you fancy joining them for some nosebleed poker in Cyprus next month, ACR will be holding the second (and final) qualifier this Sunday, 23 April, with at least three more ‘ultra’ packages up for grabs for those who dream of turning their online poker tournament prowess to Live Poker Tournament fame and fortune.
