The Winning Poker Network Earns GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title with $5 Million Venom Payment

San Jose, Costa Rica – July 24th, 2019 – A lot of online poker networks throw the word record-breaking around. But when the Winning Poker Network (flagship brand Americas Cardroom) says it, it’s true – and verifiably so. The US-facing network just earned the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the largest cryptocurrency winning jackpot in an online poker tournament! “We’re excited for “TheBigKid“ our $1,050,559.50 first-place winner in our $5 Million Venom,” stated Winning Poker Network (WPN) spokesperson Michael Harris. “Earning the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title means it wasn’t just an online poker tournament, it was history in the making.” To secure the record, WPN sent the winner the prize via Bitcoin shortly after the final hand was played — all in one shot. It happened on July 24th, 2019 in San Jose, Costa Rica. The Venom featured a $5 Million guaranteed prize pool, and at least $1 Million for first place. It was the biggest tourney in WPN’s history and the biggest-ever by a US-facing network with a $6,382,500 final prize pool. The tourney began on July 14th, spanned several days, and featured three Day 1’s options. WPN first began accepting Bitcoin in 2015. Back then, the popular cryptocurrency accounted for about 2% of all business. Over the last few years, they’ve ramped up their commitment to crypto, now accepting over 60 different ones for deposits and withdrawals. Today, cryptocurrency accounts for 60% of WPN’s business.

Lock down a WSOP Main Event Seat During WSOP Takedown Week on ACR

WSOP TAKEDOWN WEEK

Here’s the official press release from ACR on TAKEDOWN WEEK

San Jose, Costa Rica – May 7, 2019 – Don’t be surprised if you see an Americas Cardroom player at the final table of the WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas. The US-facing online poker site has announced its WSOP Takedown Week, which will award 15 WSOP prize packages worth $12,500 each, $187,500 in total.

“We all dream about taking down the WSOP Main Event, and for one lucky player, that could be a reality,” stated Michael Harris, spokesperson for Americas Cardroom. “If you dream of becoming poker world champion, don’t miss our WSOP Takedown Week.”

From June 3rd through 9th, Americas Cardroom is hosting WSOP Takedown Week. Dotting the schedule are several qualifiers each day (starting at $2.20), all of which lead to a WSOP Main Event Satellite on June 9th at 4pm ET which guarantees the 15 packages.

Players can also buy-in directly to the WSOP Main Event Satellite for $1,920 or enter a Step Tournament that’s running now (starts at 28 cents).

Players who win a package will receive the full $12,500 credited to their account. That’s $10,000 earmarked for the Main Event buy-in and another $2,500 for travel expenses. While dreams are made by playing in the WSOP Main Event, winners can just keep the cash if they wish.

Some players may use some of that cash to buy into Americas Cardroom’s upcoming $5 Million Venom. This record-breaking online tourney begins July 16th and ends with someone winning $1 Million guaranteed. The direct buy-in is $2,650, but players can also win their way for free.

ACR’s Online Super Series returns this December

Americas Cardroom Announces its Biggest Online Super Series ever With $3.1 Million in Guarantees. Here is the Press Release direct from Americas Cardroom…… San Jose, Costa Rica – November 21, 2016 –Call it a slightly early Christmas present or a post-Thanksgiving reason to be extra thankful. Americas Cardroom today announced OSS VIII, a 78-event online tournament series featuring more than $3.1 million in guaranteed prize money. The series runs from Wednesday, December 7th through Sunday, December 18th and concludes with ACR’s next $1 million guaranteed tournament. “Here we go again with another Online Super Series, bigger and better than ever,” stated Americas Cardroom spokesperson Michael Harris. “We’ve packed $3.1 million in guaranteed prize money into 12 days of non-stop poker action, but we anticipate final prize pools totaling way over that. No matter what happens, it’s going to be our biggest Online Super Series ever and an amazing way to close out the year.” OSS VIII comes just three months after the last Online Super Series. Starting in late August, Americas Cardroom sandwiched an Online Super Series into the OSS Cub3d, a $4.5 million poker tournament series that started with a Mini Online Super Series (MOSS) and ended with a Bigger Online Super Series (BOSS). While the last OSS featured $2.5 million guaranteed in prize money, Americas Cardroom is going all in by putting up more than $3.1 million this time around. It’s the biggest Online Super Series in the US-facing online poker site’s history. OSS VIII also includes the next installment of the Million Dollar Sunday. The $1 million Guaranteed tournament has become a staple at Americas Cardroom. After a series of 6-figure overlays, the last two Million Dollar Sunday tournaments have exceeded their guarantees. In addition to the $1 million guarantee, players will find 77 other big events, including two $100K GTDs, a $250K GTD and a $500K GTD. Players can choose from No Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha, The Cage, and a variety of formats including Turbos, Superstacks, Knockouts, and more. Buy-ins run as low as $1+0.10, making it one of Americas Cardroom’s most affordable tournament series yet. Satellites for OSS VIII will be available soon at Americas Cardroom.
