The Final Day of the Big Stax XXXI 300 Kicks-Off at Noon
The final day of the Big Stax XXXI 300 is set to kick-off at noon! The tournament has 22 players returning to battle it out for the $72,341 first-place prize.
It is Po Ying leading the remaining players with 5,250,00 going into his bag by the end of Day 2. Ying Started Day 2 second in chips as the Day 1a chip leader but had to battle through some rocky roads to climb back to the top spot.
Sitting in Second is Bin Weng. Weng had a double elimination hand at the end of the night that counted for his leap into the top stack as he takes 4,545,000 into Day 3, and will look to top his fifth-place performance he took in this event in 2017.
The two previous players may have the top stack coming into the final day, but sitting behind them is Victor Ramdin. Ramdin has a list of accomplishments under his resume dating back to 2002 which includes a first-place finish in this exact tournament just this past February. Unlike the rest of the remaining players, Ramdin didn't grind through the starting flights looking to take a big stack into Day 2. Instead, he bought in before registration closed and began the day with a starting stack of 30,000, building it up to 3,875,000 to end the night.
