ACR Poker has unleashed its biggest-ever weekly tournament, and it’s already reshaping the online high-stakes scene. Introducing Phil’s Thrill — a $10,300 buy-in spectacle that now runs every Sunday at 2:30 PM ET, attracting poker’s most fearless grinders and high rollers looking for consistent mega-action.
Phil’s Thrill Gains Traction as the Weekly Heavyweight
Launched earlier this month, Phil’s Thrill kicked off with a bang:
- July 6 debut: 46 players $460,000 prize pool
- July 13 follow-up: 47 entries $470,000 paid out
With momentum building weekly, this event is quickly becoming a marquee fixture in ACR Poker’s Sunday schedule — combining adrenaline, prestige, and massive prize potential.
Poker Royalty Backs the Format
“This tournament is about more than money — it’s about growing the game, competing at the highest level, and building genuine connections,” said Phil Nagy, ACR Poker CEO and high-stakes regular.
The tournament consistently draws elite names like:

“Phil’s Thrill brings unmatched intensity to the weekly calendar,” said Moneymaker. “With satellites and step tourneys available, this isn’t just for high rollers — anyone can earn their seat.”
