The cage live is back!

Updated: Oct 24



Dates: April 3rd-6th

The Cage Live returned last summer to San Jose, Costa Rica after a hiatus, and it was such a success, we’re making it a permanent fixture among our many exotic getaways.

This cash game in a time-based tournament format takes place from Wednesday, April 3rd through Saturday, April 6th. It starts with a fantastic player dinner on Tuesday, April 2nd where you’ll get to meet and hobnob with many of our staff, as well as some ACR Pros.

Win your $8,700 package online and compete in this multi-day event where the cash game action increases as the blinds rise to nosebleed stakes!

 Cage Live packages are non-transferable and must be used by the satellite winner for the April 2024 event.

Live Event Satellites​ (in Costa Rica)​

This takes place on Wednesday and Thursday and players can win an additional buy-in for the following Day 1.

  • Daily Starting Time: 8:00pm

  • Starting Chip Stack: 5,000

  • Buy-in: $400+40

  • Blind levels: 12-minute blinds

  • 2-hour late reg

How the Cage Works:

  • Players buy in directly for $5,250 and receive 5,000 in chips.

  • Blinds increase throughout the event, just like in a tournament.

  • Only one entry is allowed during each Day 1.

  • Players may play multiple Day 1 flights and combine their stack for Day 2.  All players who earn chips on Day 1 are forced to play on Day 2.

  • It’s a time-based tournament, so at the end of Day 2, players cash in their chips, and every chip is worth cash value (e.g., if you have 25,000 in chips, you’re taking home $25,000).

  • You can’t cash out until Day 2 is over (That’s why we call it The Cage).
