America’s Cardroom has announced the weekend of January 5 – 8, 2012 will be a Double Guarantees Weekend. That means that all the prize pools to all the guaranteed tournaments America’s Cardroom has scheduled for that weekend will be doubled.
So instead of $5,000 in the $5k Guaranteed Tournament, the prize pool will be $10,000. Instead of $7,500 in the $7.5k Guaranteed Tournament, it will jump to $15,000. And instead of $15,000 in the $15k Guaranteed Tournament, players will vie for $30,000.
This is a four-day weekend spectacular, lasting Thursday through Sunday and comprising some hundred or so tournaments, including deepstack events, short-handed events, turbos, bounties, rebuy/add-on events, freezeouts, even guaranteed tournaments in Pot Limit Omaha.
In the meantime, players can whet their appetite with a feast of holiday promotions already in full swing, including the Secret Santa, $45k worth of Holiday Freeroll Tournaments, December’s $65K Points Race and FPPs Gone Wild, in which players can now buy in to any America’s Cardroom Sit and Go with Frequent Player Points. For more information on all of these, browse back to earlier posts here of the last couple weeks.
