America’s Cardroom online poker tournament attracts nearly 50,000 entries

When Americas Cardroom announced “The Dream,” many wondered how a micro-stakes event with a buy-in of just $2.50 could achieve a $100,000 guarantee.

As it turns out, the site never had to sweat an overlay.

The 22-start progressive knockout tournament on Day 1 attracted a massive field of 49,016 entries, resulting in a total prize pool of $110,286.

In the end, the title went to online player “CatchM3IfUKan” who not only won the $8,275 first place prize but also $1,447 in bounties. That win equates to a staggering 333,800% ROI on the initial buy-in.

after the tournament ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker said, “My own experience demonstrates the life changing opportunities that poker can offer, but rarely have these opportunities been available with such a low buy-in as ‘The Dream’. As the name suggests, ‘The Dream’ embodies big poker with basement buy-ins.”

Following the tournament’s success at its inaugural event, Americas Cardroom plans to host another event of The Dream in the near future.
