The road to one of our most exciting events begins this Sunday, February 15th! You can turn $95 into a seat in the $10,300 buy-in Phil’s Thrill XXL, set for Sunday, March 1st, featuring a huge $1.5 million guaranteed prize pool.
Phil’s Thrill XXL is a special, supersized edition of our popular weekly Phil’s Thrill tournament. It is named after our CEO Phil Nagy, who regularly plays, as well as several ACR Poker Pros like Chris Moneymaker.
Satellites Kick Off This Sunday
The “Road to The Big One” promotion opens the door for players to qualify without paying the full five-figure buy-in. Through a simple two-step system, you can start with just $95 and play your way into the headline event.
Step 1: Beast Satellites
The first phase begins Sunday, February 15th and 22nd at 5:05pm ET. For a $95 buy-in, each Beast Satellite guarantees 50 seats into a $1,050 buy-in Mega Satellite.
Step 2: Mega Satellites
The Megas take place Sunday, February 22nd and Sunday, March 1st at 11:05am ET. You can use a ticket won in a Beast Satellite or enter directly for $1,050. Each Mega Satellite guarantees 20 seats into Phil’s Thrill XXL, awarding full $10,300 entries.
A Record-Breaking Phil’s Thrill
This XXL edition marks the richest guarantee ever for the Phil’s Thrill brand and is expected to draw even more top-tier competition than usual. Players who qualify through the $95 route will battle on the same stage as direct entrants, competing for a share of the $1.5 million prize pool at a fraction of the cost.
With satellites beginning this Sunday, now is the time for players to secure their shot at one of the biggest events on the schedule.
