Day 1b Completed
Day 1b of the Parx Big Stax XXXII 1100 Championship attracted 374 runners, which along with Day 1a’s 217 brought the current field up to 591 entries. That number is sure to go up as late registration is open until Level 17 begins on Day 2.
Bagging the big stack in Saturday’s flight among the approximately 90 survivors was Tim Glab with a monster stack of 849,000. A big chunk of that came in the biggest pot of the tournament thus far, which was a three-way battle in the penultimate level of the night. Glab’s stack is nearly double that of Day 1a chip leader Steven Snyder’s 431,500.
Others to bag big stacks on Day 1b were Alida Veliu (575,000), Sharath Sreeramoju (536,000), Carl Pereira (550,400), John Calandra (419,000), and Jackob Datashvili (419,000).
Joining them for Sunday’s Day 2 will be Orson Young (406,500), Ryan Eriquezzo (295,000), Christian Harder (293,500), Stephanie Hubbard (151,500), and Alex “Chapo” Jim (81,000).
Of course, not everyone was fortunate enough to bag. Among those to fall on Day 1b were 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Greg Raymer, Albert Albay, Stacy Bracey, Lye Diamond, and Ryan Herold.
Day 2, which will see Levels 16-21 increase to 60 minutes and Level 22 and beyond to 90 minutes, will get underway at Noon local time on Sunday here at Parx, albeit in the main poker room as opposed to the Parx East building. Late registration and reentry are open for an hour into play.
PokerNews will be on-site to capture all the action, so be sure to join us then.
The tournament staff just announced the remaining players will play four more hands at each table before bagging and tagging on Day 1b. Stay tuned for some chip counts (full chip counts and the Day 2 seat draw to be posted in the morning) and a short recap of the action.
It appeared as if action folded to a short-stacked player in the small blind and he moved all in for his last 30,000 or so. Jackob Datashvili was in the big blind and made the call.

A game-changing pot just went down at Table 3 as a trio of big stacks collided. In the end, one would end with the biggest stack this tournament has seen thus far.
It began when Chris Caruso limped from early position and the ever-active Baitai Li raised to 15,000 from the button. Tim Glab called from the big blind, Caruso called as well, and the flop came down ![]()

.
Two checks saw Li continue for just 12,000 and Glab responded by check-raising to 35,000. Caruso called and Li did the same to see the
turn.
Glab kept the peddle to the metal by betting 79,000 and Caruso thought for a bit before making the call. Li thought equally as long and did the same, which brought about the
on the river.
Glab checked and Caruso hit the tank. Eventually Glab called the clock and before the floor arrived Caruso checked. Lo then snap-jammed for around 175,000. Glab wasted little time in tossing in one-chip to signal that he was calling off for 151,000. Caruso then folded what he said was a flush and up-and-down straight draw.

Li had rivered top pair but it was no good as Glab had two pair. With that, Glab assumed the chip lead with 675,000 while Li, who at one point had 540K, was left with just 20,500.
In the very next hand, Li picked up aces to double, and the hand after spiked a three outer on the river to double again. Despite working it back up to 100K, his comeback fell short a few hands later as he ultimately went bust.
