Add one more poker pro to the Day 1a mix as Christian Harder has arrived from Maryland and just jumped into action.
Harder has amassed more than $4.5 million in live tournament earnings dating back to 2007, including a career-best $571,965 for finishing fourth in the 2009 WPT $25,000 Championship. In 2017, he had his signature win when he won the PokerStars Championship Bahamas (formerly the PCA) $5,000 Main Event for $429,664.
Toss in a half dozen other six-figure scores and it’s clear to see why Harder should be one of the most feared players in the field.
As far as Parx is concerned, Harder is looking to improve upon his fourth-place finish in the 2018 Parx Big Stax XXIV 1500 event, which was good for $37,311.

Last October, Victor Ramdin captured a Parx Big Stax title after the final four worked a deal in the Parx Big Stax XXXI 300 Event.
Ramdin was chip leader when the deal was struck, and as a result he got the most prize money - $48,777 to be exact - and the trophy.
Well, he's back as the longtime poker player late registered after the dinner break. He'll be looking for more good juju here at Parx.
