The Cage may be one of the most interesting online poker promotions of the fall, and it takes place at Americas Cardroom. Why is The Cage so intriguing? It may just turn out to be the perfect way to mix tournament poker and cash game action, and it is indeed already raising eyebrows and generating attention from some of the biggest names in poker everywhere.
The Cage is – at least as far as its structure goes – a poker tournament: it will feature a 6-max structure and players will start off 5k stacks. Unlike in an actual tournament however, the chips will be assigned a dollar value. In fact, given that the buy-in is $5k+$100 (the tournament fee), it’s safe to say that each of the chips will be worth exactly $1. The tournament lasts for 3 hours, during which players will be able to chip up or to bust out. Those who remain standing in The Cage when the 3 hours are up, are paid out according to how many chips they have at that point. What that means is that a player who finishes the tournament with 50k chips will be paid exactly $50k. The Cage is essentially cash game poured into a tournament mold, and let’s be frank: it looks extremely appealing indeed.
Open an account at Americas Cardroom right now and make sure you’re in The Cage when the action kicks off in October.

What else is there to be known about The Cage? It will feature 3 blind-levels. For the first hour of action, the blinds will be $10/$20 with a $2 ante. For the second hour, the blinds are $25/$50 with a $5 ante, and for the final hour, the blinds are $50/$100, with $10 antes.
The Cage is scheduled to kick off on October 8, at 8:00 PM EST, and buying in directly is obviously possible at the site. Couching up 5.1k in one go isn’t quite possible for everyone though, which is why there are a huge number of online qualifiers running for the event already. The cheapest of these qualifiers start at $1.5, so there’s great value indeed in these satellites and sub-satellites.

The bottom line: Americas Cardroom seem to be on a roll lately. The Cage comes fresh on the tail of their announcement regarding the first $1 million GTD tournament to hit a US-facing online poker room in years, the Winning Millions.
