The CEO finished second in Phil's Thrill and fifth in Mini Phil's Thrill while Americas Cardroom's new replayer makes completed final-table hole cards visible to everyone.

SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA / ACCESS Newswire / September 8, 2026 / Americas Cardroom CEO Phil Nagy reached two of his namesake tournament final tables on Sunday, September 6, then used the results to highlight a new way for players to review completed Americas Cardroom final tables with every hole card revealed.

Nagy, playing as Justsomefish72, finished runner-up in the $10,300 Phil's Thrill. The tournament drew 26 entries and produced a $260,000 prize pool, with Nagy collecting $78,000. Later, he reached the final table of the $2,650 Mini Phil's Thrill, finishing fifth for $10,800 from a 36-entry field and $90,000 prize pool. His combined Sunday payouts totaled $88,800.

The results came four days after the FT Replayer launched as a standalone browser destination. The free tool requires no Americas Cardroom account or software download. Every Americas Cardroom tournament final table is published automatically after completion, allowing viewers to replay the action hand by hand with all players' hole cards visible.

"The Final Table Replayer adds another layer of confidence because once the final table is over, anyone can go back through every hand with every hole card exposed," Nagy said. "With OSS XL running right now, it is also a great study tool. Players can review opponents, review themselves and see exactly how the final table played out."

Nagy created the Phil's Thrill family to compete directly with high-stakes players on the site. September 6 also marked the first $2,650 Mini Phil's Thrill PLO, which drew 54 entries and generated a $135,000 prize pool. The Pot-Limit Omaha event is planned as a weekly addition.

The Replayer's launch overlaps with OSS XL, which runs September 6-29 with 336 events and more than $50 million in guarantees. Americas Cardroom positions the replay library as both a study resource and an added layer of visibility around completed tournament action.

Players and poker fans can explore the completed final tables through the Americas Cardroom FT Replayer.
