Americas Cardroom Schedules Moneymaker Bubble Effect
The $0.10 event carries a $10,000 guarantee, and the bubble finisher gets a $2,650 Venom seat alongside a Twitch watch party.
Americas Cardroom will run The Moneymaker Bubble Effect on Tuesday, July 28, at 8:30 p.m. ET. The online event costs $0.10 to enter, guarantees $10,000, and gives the player who lands on the money bubble a $2,650 seat to one of the site’s upcoming Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms.
The promo is built around Chris Moneymaker’s bubble exit in the 2026 World Series of Poker Main Event. PokerNews reported that he was the 1,383rd-place finisher, the stone bubble, after the field had already reached hand-for-hand play. The Review-Journal likewise reported that Moneymaker was eliminated early on Day 4 and that the top 1,382 places got paid, with a minimum cash of $15,000.
A companion watch party runs on Americas Cardroom’s official Twitch channel at 7 p.m. ET. The stream is set to feature Moneymaker’s reactions, analysis, and unfiltered takes on ESPN’s coverage of the 2026 WSOP Main Event, along with details on an exclusive first-time deposit bonus and reload bonus.
The theme reaches back to Moneymaker’s 2003 WSOP Main Event win. According to AccessNewsWire, he qualified through an $86 online satellite, beat Sammy Farha heads-up, and collected $2.5 million, a result that helped create the so-called Moneymaker Effect, the push for more players to satellite into major live events.
The Venom seat ties into Americas Cardroom’s 25th-anniversary push. GamblingNews reported that the Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms run from August 13 through September 2 and carry $15 million in combined guarantees, split between a $12 million no-limit hold’em event and a $3 million pot-limit Omaha event. Both events have a $2,650 buy-in, eight Day 1 flights, $5,000 minimum Mystery Bounties, and top bounties of $500,000 in hold’em and $250,000 in Omaha.
