High Stakes $10,300 buy-in
You asked for high stakes, so our CEO Phil Nagy shoved all-in on the idea. The result? Phil’s Thrill, a $10,300 buy-in tourney that happens every Sunday at 2:30pm ET.
It’s the biggest weekly tourney we’ve ever unleashed and where fortune favors the fearless. If you’re allergic to nosebleed stakes, turn back now.
Who is Phil and why is this event so important to him?
Phil is a passionate advocate for high-stakes poker, and is the mastermind behind this event. But he’s not satisfied with just orchestrating from behind the scenes. When the mood strikes, Phil will join the action, bringing his A-game and a hefty stack to challenge the best in the business.
While Phil won’t grace every Sunday tournament with his presence, don’t be shocked to see his name alongside poker legends like Chris Moneymaker and other titans.
This isn’t just any tournament – it’s a battlefield where poker giants clash, creating an electrifying atmosphere of skill, strategy, and high-stakes drama.

Every Sunday at 3:30pm ET
First, there was Phil’s Thrill—one of the crown jewels of Americas Cardroom. A $10,300 weekly showdown that packs monster pots and keeps even the fiercest pros on edge. It kicks off every Sunday at 2:30pm ET.
Now, a new alternative takes the stage. Introducing Mini Phil’s Thrill.
This weekly event comes with a more accessible (but still elite) $2,650 buy-in. With a $200,000 guarantee, it delivers the same high-octane action and sweat-inducing drama that’s made the original Phil’s Thrill a legend.
Don’t let the word “Mini” fool you—this one has plenty of bite. One wrong move, and you’ll be feeling that sting in your chip stack.
Satellites: Your Path to the Big Time
Both Phil’s Thrill and Mini Phil’s Thrill offer satellite qualifiers so you can punch your ticket for pennies on the dollar. For just $290, you can battle for your chance to turn a small entry into a $2,650 Mini Phil’s Thrill seat. That’s how you flip a bargain into a bankroll booster.
Big Names, Big Action
Expect to sometimes share the felt with WPN CEO Phil Nagy himself (he’s not just the namesake—he plays too), poker legends like ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker, and a rotating crew of top international crushers. And yes, the virtual rail will be buzzing with fans watching the fireworks.
So whether you’re ready to chase poker immortality in this Sunday doubleheader or just want to lock in your own “Mini Thrill,” Americas Cardroom is the arena.
