You already know the deal with Phil’s Thrill.
It’s one of the most popular weekly tournaments on the schedule — a $10,300 buy-in that brings out the heavy hitters, with Phil almost always in the mix. It’s the kind of event where you’ll see high rollers, pros, and big-name regulars (including ACR Poker’s own Chris Moneymaker), which means the action is always spicy and the stakes are always real.
But for this one special stretch, Phil’s Thrill is getting a serious upgrade.
From February 15th through March 1st, Phil’s Thrill XXL is dropping with a massive $1.5 Million guarantee — and an easier path to qualify than ever before.
Instead of needing to jump straight into a pricey satellite, you can start the whole run for just $95 and work your way up in two steps.
Two steps to the Big One
This promo is a straight-up two-step ladder. Start in the $95 Beast Satellite, win your way into the $1,050 Mega Satellite, and from there you’re playing for a $10,300 seat in Phil’s Thrill XXL — the $1.5 Million guaranteed main event on Sunday, March 1st.
Step 1: Beast Satellites ($95)
Your first stop is the Beast. These run Sunday, February 15th and Sunday, February 22nd at 5:05pm ET, and each one guarantees 50 tickets into the next Mega Satellite. Survive this stage, and you’re on to the next level of the road.
Step 2: Mega Satellites ($1,050)
The Mega is where you lock up the seat. These run Sunday, February 22nd and Sunday, March 1st at 11:05am ET, and each Mega guarantees 20 seats into Phil’s Thrill XXL ($10,300 buy-in). Win here, and you’re in.
The destination: Phil’s Thrill XXL
This is what it all leads to: Phil’s Thrill XXL — The Big One — on Sunday, March 1st at 2:30pm ET. It’s a $10,300 buy-in tournament with a $1.5 Million guarantee, and it’s easily one of the biggest “circle this date” events on the ACR Poker schedule.
