The $60k Marathon
The race for big money starts with our big $60k monthly Points Race. Just keep playing poker at Americas Cardroom during the month of May and you’ll automatically be a part of it. As you play in real money Ring Games and tournaments, you’ll collect points toward our leader board. The more points you collect, the higher you’ll climb up our leaderboard. At the end of the month, we’ll freeze the leaderboard and award players with cash based on their rank.
Your earn points toward our leader board, while you play and generate rake in real money Ring Games and tournaments, players have to contribute directly into the rake of each pot you play in.
This way you will earn leaderboard points based on your contribution to the rake of each hand.
- Players earn 1.25 points for every $1 contributed to the rake.
- For tournaments players earn 1.25 points for each $1 of tourney fees paid.
Example:
At a 9-handed full ring table, everybody folds except for 3 players (A, B and C) who see the flop, each paying $10 pre-flop.
Player A goes all-in on the flop for another $35. B folds and C calls the $35.
The total pot size is now $100. At the end of the hand $3 rake gets taken from the pot.
So, at the end of the hand, here is how the rake will be determined: Player C, who put in $10 and folded on the flop, would be credited with $0.30 (10% of $3), while the other two would be credited with $1.35 each (45% of $3).
There’s 275 big monthly winners. First place gets $8,000.
