High Stakes $10,500 buy-in

You asked for high stakes, so our CEO Phil Nagy shoved all-in on the idea. The result? Phil’s Thrill, a $10,500 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.
