The Quattro: new Americas Cardroom tournament for low-stakes players

Mystery PKO tournaments, but for lower-stakes players. Starting in November, Americas Cardroom is adding Quattro to the schedule, with multiple starting sessions.

The Quattro are three new tournaments on Americas Cardroom. All of them work in a similar way – players first grind the Day 1 sessions, then advance to Day 2, which will take place on Sunday. This format guarantees high guaranteed prize pools, but also opportunities for big bounties.

The schedule includes these Quattro tournaments:

• Buy-in $33 – prize pool $50,000 and largest bounty $5,000
• Buy-in $5.50 – prize pool $20,000 and largest bounty $1,500
• Buy-in $1.10 – prize pool $5,000 and largest bounty $250

Short sessions, more chances to build a stack

The tournament guaranteed prize pools should be exceeded, because the software has many starting sessions, with even more before Sunday. In each Day 1 session, levels are 8 minutes long, and the whole thing lasts about 100 minutes. Around 25% of the field advances to the final day on Sunday. You can play multiple times, and all carried stacks combine into a bigger one on the final day. In each Day 1, you start with a 5,000 stack. The tournaments also have a regular prize pool portion – 12% of players will be in the money.

The tournaments have a Mystery Bounty format. That means the prizes for eliminating players are from the final day. If someone eliminates a player who has a $100 bounty on them, they get $50 immediately, and 50% goes to their mystery bounty. Day 1 Quattro sessions run every 2 hours from Sunday through Friday, 5 minutes past the hour. From Friday to Sunday, Day 1 sessions run hourly. Additional sessions are still available on Sunday before Day 2.
