A lucky player from the Garden State of New Jersey has claimed first place at the premier Liberty Quarter Million online poker tournament held by Americas Cardroom to commemorate “Black Friday”.
This marked the first year anniversary of “Black Friday”, a day in which three of the largest US-facing online poker rooms were ordered out of the American market after they were found to be engaging in alleged money laundering and bank fraud practices.
Americas Cardroom is one of the fastest Internet poker rooms in the planet with lazar speed payouts and an increasing number of players attracted to the tables each week. AMC, in fact, has reported upward growth trends every week since the start of the year.
The winner, CrazyMichael1 has been playing with ACR since 10/22/2011.
“He won the last Hyper Turbo Satellite ($22+2) of the night and after that he never looked back until he collected all of the chips,” Julius Maxwell of Americas Cardroom told Gambling911.com.
The popular online poker room will also be hosting its $50,000 GTD on Sunday April 22nd at 7pm ET. The buy in: $200+15 and 10000 starting chips.
Here were your winners.
1. CrazyMichael1 ($50,0000)
2. Tyson219 ($29,000)
3. Shelooked18 ($20,000)
A total of 1096 players came to play, top 153 made it to the money paying $375 minimum.
“The bubble was Navarregator and iStevie C made it to the money with a 200 ante chip,” Maxwell advised G911. “He was destined to be the bubble but it bursts one hand before he got knocked out with his last ante.”
