Americas Cardroom Launches Aruba Satellite Series

The promotion kicks off July 12 at 5:05pm ET, followed by a second chance to qualify on July 19. Each event carries a $95 buy-in and guarantees 10 packages. For those seeking a different route, players can also secure entry by climbing The Beast weekly leaderboard. Each $5,000 package covers the $1,700 tournament buy-in, five nights at the TRYP by Wyndham Aruba, $1,000 for airfare, and $1,000 in spending cash.

This tour carries the legacy of Chris Moneymaker, who transformed the sport in 2003 by parlaying an $86 online satellite entry into a $2.5 million World Series of Poker title. Now an Americas Cardroom Pro, Moneymaker remains active on the circuit, currently documenting his run in the 2026 WSOP Main Event. The Aruba stop represents a push by the site, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, to bridge the gap between digital qualifiers and high-stakes live poker in a premier Caribbean destination.
