Money Added to The Beast, Sit & Crush
Americas Cardroom is adding thousands of dollars to their two largest monthly promotions, The Beast and Sit & Crush, with an extra $15K per week paid directly to the players.
The Beast Unleashed
ACR's massively popular rake race, The Beast, has truly been unleashed. With an additional $10K added to the prizepool of each weekly 'Beast' race through the end of August, there's no shortage of value to be found. Players will see the added $10K distributed throughout the 55 person payout structure as shown below. These payments will be in addition to the normal 'Beast' race payouts - which in some instances will represent a more than 100% increase in the prize money won:
1st - 5th: +$1,000
6th - 10th: +$400
11th - 15th: +$200
16th - 25th: +$100
26th - 35th: +$50
36th - 55th: +$25
Anyone who plays at a real money cash game table on ACR will be participating in The Beast. Players will earn 1 Point towards the leaderboard for every $.02 fed to The Beast using the Weighted Contributed Rake methodology. The Beast races will run every week from 00:00 on Saturday - 23:59 on Friday.
Sit & Crush Reloaded
As the Sit & Go counterpart to The Beast, Sit & Crush has also received a hearty boost to finish off the summer. Through the end of August ACR is adding $5K to each weekly prizepool - more than doubling the average payout at all 35 leaderboard positions.
1st - 5th: +$500
6th - 10th: +$200
11th - 15th: +$100
16th - 35th: +$50
Once again this money is added on top of the normal Sit & Crush payouts, sending ROI's through the roof. Sit & Crush Races will also run from Saturday - Friday each week, with every Sit & Go or On Demand tournament counting towards the leaderboard.
What makes these special races even more exciting is that they don't cost players a thing. Both The Beast and Sit & Crush are funded entirely by the poker room, keeping costs low and the value high. Those that sign-up through TheNuts will also receive 27% rakeback for their play in addition to a $1K first deposit bonus.
