8,202 entries and major ROI headline new weekly online poker events.
Americas Cardroom has launched its new Smash & Splash Sunday majors, and the first weekend delivered immediate results.
The two weekly online poker tournaments — $75,000 GTD Smash ($22) and $50,000 GTD Splash ($11) — combined for 8,202 total entries.
The $75,000 GTD Smash generated a $79,140 prize pool and paid 486 players. Champion “dougm83” turned a single $22 entry into $11,891.
The $50,000 GTD Splash attracted 4,245 entries and included a $7,550 overlay, adding extra value to the field. “P0KERRAT” converted one $11 buy-in into $7,623.
Over 500 players qualified through satellites across both events.
“These events are built to give everyday players a legitimate Sunday major experience,” said an Americas Cardroom spokesperson. “Affordable buy-ins, large fields, and real prize pools are the foundation.”
Smash & Splash now run every Sunday at Americas Cardroom.
