San Jose, Costa Rica – September 4, 2014
– Put your poker chips down and your fists up, America. The blood is
about to fly in online poker’s fiercest cash game ever. Americas
Cardroom today announced The Cage, a no-holds-barred cash game with a
time based tournament format where the battle for poker chips is on.
Poker players will start this heart-pounding, 6-max table event with 5,000 in chips and will win the value of their chip stack at the end of 3 hours.
“It’s time to ground and pound the online poker tables,” stated
Michael Harris, spokesperson for Americas Cardroom. “We’re raising the
stakes with an unbelievable poker cash game that’s designed for players
who are in it to win it.”


The Cage
is unlike any cash game in online poker history. Players who register
for the $5,000+$100 cash game will enter The Cage with 5,000 in starting
chips. Each chip has a real dollar value. Players will fight to stay
alive and will emerge from The Cage once the 3-hour clock hits zero or
by busting out.


While The Cage is considered a cash game, the structure will be
familiar to tournament players. The Cage features 3 levels: Hour one
with $10/$20 blinds and $2 antes; Hour two with $25/$50 blinds and $5
antes; and Hour three with $50/$100 blinds and $10 antes.


Upon the conclusion of the 3 hours, players will emerge from The Cage
and win the value of their chip stack. For example, a player who has
50,000 left in chips when the clock hits 0:00 will win $50,000 as soon
as the cash game concludes.


The buy-in for The Cage is $5,000+$100 but qualifiers for the
multi-table cash game are available at Americas Cardroom from as low as
$1.50. The event is scheduled at 8:00pm EST on October 8th.


The Cage is already gaining the attention of some Texas Hold’em
powerhouses. Harris notes that some legendary pros, including famous
players in the online poker community, have expressed huge interest in
going to battle in The Cage.


Fresh off the announcement of their upcoming $1,000,000 GTD Winning Millions tournament, ACR continues to find innovative ways to bring exciting poker back to players in the USA.
