ACR Poker CEO Phil Nagy has just announced a new $10,300 high stakes buy-in with the top cash payout to be determined by the overall pool. Based on ACR Poker's global presence, we're likely talking a significant amount here. And the great news, it's a weekly Sunday tournament.
Billed as the "Phil Thrill, the $10,300 buy-in slugfest running every Sunday at 2:30pm ET. It’s the biggest weekly tournament in ACR Poker history, built for high rollers who don’t flinch at five-figure swings—and love a good sweat with some serious bragging rights on the line.
The idea was his and his alone. Watch for Phil to regularly participate.
ACR Poker notes that, while Phil won’t be there every Sunday, Chris Moneymaker and other ACR Pro heavyweights will be participating in his place (or along side the ACR Poker CEO).
This tournament is where serious poker powerhouses collide.
And it continues through the month of October 2025.
Phil’s Thrill has been crushing it every Sunday during the month of September with its massive $10,300 buy-in and prize pools hitting $770K+.
The Mini Phil’s Thrills are new $2,650 buy-in tournament with a $200,000 guarantee courtesy of ACR Poker.
