In anticipation of the approaching Liberty Quarter Million, America’s Cardroom is encouraging players to try for satellite entry into the tournament by sweetening the pot for the satellite portion of the player pool.
The Liberty Quarter Million is a $250,000 guaranteed tournament being held by America’s Cardroom on April 15, 2012. But in addition to that $250k is an added $5,000 prize pool set aside exclusively for the top satellite players in the tournament.
America’s Cardroom will keep a leaderboard during the April 15 tournament tracking all the players who won their seat in the tournament through an online satellite. On April 16, the top 75 finishers on the satellite leaderboard will share the $5k added prize pool, with the first place finisher getting a cool $1,000 cash.
As often occurs at America’s Cardroom some qualifying satellite tournaments offer more leaderboard points than others. On April 13 at 8 pm is a 250-seat guaranteed satellite for the $250k GTD that offers 1000 leaderboard points shared amongs the winners. In addition, every day from now until the tournament there are two satellites into the 250-seater that also award extra points:
• at 5 past the hour, every hour is the $250 GTD Super R/A that offers 1 seat to the 250-seater and 25 points
• at 35 past the hour, every hour is a $250k GTD satellite that offers 2 seats to the 250-seater and 50 points.
There are also two daily satellites, one at 9:55 pm and one at 12:55 am that each offer 2 seats to the actual $250k GTD itself, along with 100 points on the leaderboard.
