Enter The Cage on Americas Cardroom
Americas Cardroom has announced a new high-stakes cash game known as 'The Cage'. With a time-based tournament format, this unique game offering will pit players against one another in a no-holds-barred 'Cage' match with thousands of dollars in cash up for grabs. Here's how it works…
To enter 'The Cage' on October 8th players can pony up the $5,100 direct buy-in or qualify through a variety of available satellite options. All entrants will begin this timed 3-hour multi-table tournament with 5,000 chips, with each chip holding $1 in value. The tournament will end as soon as the time limit expires, regardless of how many players are left. Each participant still alive at the end of the tournament will receive the cash value of their remaining chipstack. For example, if you have 20,000 chips, you'll receive a $20,000 payout. Winnings will be credited directly to your bank account via a free bank wire from Americas Cardroom.
To make things more interesting, 'The Cage' will be played out in a 6-max format with the blinds increasing every hour to ensure action.
Hour 1: Blinds $10 / $20 with a $2 ante
Hour 2: Blinds $25 / $50 with a $5 ante
Hour 3: Blinds $50 / $100 with a $10 ante
As mentioned the buy-in for this high-stakes competition is $5,100 - although there are currently satellites running around the clock allowing players to qualify for as little as $1.50.
