Aspiring high-stakes players can advance through the ‘Road to the Big One’ satellites and earn their ticket into one of the biggest weekly events on the ACR Poker schedule 

ACR Poker is taking its popular weekly high-stakes tournament to another level with Phil’s Thrill XXL, featuring a massive $1.5 million guaranteed prize pool and taking place on Sunday, March 1st. And now with the ‘Road to the Big One’, players of all levels have the opportunity to compete in the $10,300 buy-in showdown, starting from just $95.

The Road to the Big One begins with Beast Satellites, where players can buy-in for $95 on Sunday, February 15th or 22nd at 5:05pm ET. Both satellites guarantee 50 tickets to the next stage, the Mega Satellites, which take place on Sunday, February 22nd and March 1st at 11:05am ET. Players also have the option to buy-in directly to the Mega Satellites for $1,050, with each guaranteeing 20 seats into Phil’s Thrill XXL event, starting Sunday, March 1st at 2:30pm ET.

“Playing Phil’s Thrill is always a highlight for me. The mix of elite competition and atmosphere is unlike any other tournament,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “I love how the Road to the Big One gives every player the chance to start small, earn their way into one of the biggest tournaments on the schedule, and battle for massive prizes alongside some of the best players in the game. That journey is what makes it so exciting.”

Designed to deliver the excitement and intensity of high-stakes poker, Phil’s Thrill unites poker’s elite and fearless competitors eager to battle for massive prize pools every week, including ACR Pros Chris Moneymaker and Chris Moorman.

The inaugural event on July 6th last year attracted 46 players for a $460,000 prize pool. Momentum quickly followed, with the August 17th Phil’s Thrill tournament setting a record of 79 entries and a massive $790,000 prize pool. Last Sunday’s 62-entry event generated a $620,000 prize pool, with ACR Poker CEO Phil Nagy finishing in 12th place and ‘FASTPLAYFAST’ claiming the crown, bragging rights, and $173,600.

Poker fans can also get front-row access to Phil’s Thrill action through ACR Poker’s live stream on Twitch, hosted by ACR Pro Rob Kuhn, who welcomes big-name guests every week such as Dylan Linde, Lewis Spencer, and Martin Zamani, among others.
