Fresh off a massive live win, ACR Poker player Bernhard Binder wasted no time carrying that momentum online.
Just weeks after winning the 2025 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event in the Bahamas — securing a $10 million first-place prize and the prestigious bracelet — the Austrian pro returned to action at ACR Poker.
Binder takes down high-stakes Phil’s Thrill
Competing under the screen name QToBerny, Binder entered Phil’s Thrill, our weekly $10,300 buy-in high-stakes tournament held every Sunday at 2:30 pm ET. Phil’s Thrill consistently attracts elite online professionals and notable poker personalities.
Binder once again rose to the occasion, navigating a challenging field to claim the Phil’s Thrill title and $145,600 in winnings. The victory served as an impressive follow-up to his historic live achievement and further highlighted the level of competition found on ACR Poker.
Spin to Stake feature also comes up big
Beyond Binder’s performance, Phil’s Thrill delivered another standout moment before the first card was even dealt. Using the Spin to Stake feature, a player known as KURTASEFLUSH won $1,019 after securing a 0.7% share of Binder’s tournament action from a single spin costing approximately $0.25.
In case you are unfamiliar with this new feature, Spin to Stake allows players to win up to 1% of a selected player’s action for spins starting as low as $0.01. This gives everyday players a chance to participate in high-stakes outcomes with minimal investment.
ACR Poker helped fuel WSOP success
Binder’s continued success comes during a historic year for the game. The 2025 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event featured the largest guaranteed prize pool ever offered in a live poker tournament.
ACR Poker played an active role in the series through an expanded satellite schedule that sent 93 players to the Main Event via a $30,000 package. We even co-sponsored the headline-grabbing drone show.
We look forward to many more memorable moments for our players, both live and online.
