Americas Cardroom to Host $150K Freebuy Tournament Series
Americas Cardroom is hosting a tournament series of fifty-seven events from Friday May 8 with no buy-ins and $150,000 guaranteed in prize money.
“Freebuy” tournaments are a fairly new innovation at Americas Cardroom. They are online poker tournaments that cost nothing to enter, but have unlimited re-buys for the first three hours before the option of an add-on is offered to players. Thereafter the tournaments continue like a freezeout event until a winner is declared.
Freeroll tournaments with re-buys and add-ons are by no means a new concept – PokerStars, 888 Poker and a handful of other online poker sites have been running them for years. But never before has there been a freeroll/freebuy tournament series along the lines of what Americas Cardroom has scheduled between May 8 and May 17.
ACR´s $150,000 Freebuy Tournament Series
The Freebuy tournament series kicks off on Friday May 8 with five tournaments staggered throughout the day to give the maximum number of players the opportunity to participate. Over the next nine days, fifty-two more tournaments are scheduled with various guarantees depending on the cost of re-buys/add-ons, and the time and type of game. For example, Friday´s schedule looks like this:
| Event | Time (ET) | Game | Re-Buy | Add-On | Guarantee |
| #1 | 5:00am | NLHE | $0.50 | $0.50 | $500 |
| #2 | 11:00am | NLHE | $0.10 | $0.10 | $500 |
| #3 | 3:00pm | PLO | $2.00 | $2.00 | $1,500 |
| #4 | 6:00pm | NLHE | $5.00 | $5.00 | $5,000 |
| #5 | 9:00pm | NLHE | $3.00 | $3.00 | $3,000 |
There is a good mix of NLHE, PLO and PLO8 tournaments throughout the series, and the biggest Freebuy tournament of them all takes place on Sunday 17 May at 5:30pm (ET) – a free-to-enter tournament with re-buys and add-ons of $20.00 and a guaranteed prize pool of $20,000! The full schedule of events in the Freebuy tournaments series can be found on the dedicated Freebuy page at [geolink href=”https://www.pokernewsreport.com/content/americascardroom/” target=”_blank”]AmericasCardroom.eu[/geolink].
