Welcome to Day 1b of the Parx Big Stax XXXII 1100 Championship
For the past few weeks, Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania has played host to the Parx Big Stax XXXII.
The series has crowned a slew of side event winners, while PokerNews has captured action from the Big Stax 300 and Big Stax 500 events. The former tournament drew 2,257 total entries for a $643,245 prize pool and saw Dan Sweeney win it for $95,744 after a three-way deal. Meanwhile, Joel Deutsch topped a 1,496-entry field to win the latter tournament for a hefty $126,995.
Today, PokerNews will continue live coverage with Day 1b of Parx Big Stax 1100, which begins at 11 a.m. Players will start with 50,000 in chips with unlimited reentry and late registration available all the way up until the beginning of Level 17, which is the second level of play on Day 2 (scheduled for Sunday, February 23).
On Friday's Day 1a flight, 217 entrants took to the felt, and by the end of the night just 55 players remained with Steven Snyder and his stack of 431,500 leading the way. Others to bag big stacks were Greg Fishberg (407,500), Joseph Wertz (406,500), Justin Huff (406,5000, and George Chen (400,500).
Joining them for Sunday’s Day 2 will be Ryan McKnight (326,000), Michael Marder (231,500), Victor Ramdin (224,000), Joey “Mush” Galazzo (219,500), and DFS expert and cofounder of Establish the Run Adam Levitan (101,000), and Daniel Weinman (96,000).
The survivors from both will return as a combined field for Day 2 on Sunday, with the tournament playing down to a winner on Monday's Day 3. Levels 1-15 are 45 minutes long and will increase to 60 minutes for Levels 16-21. After that, all levels jump to 90 minutes allowing for plenty of play.
The field will play through 15 45-minute levels today, starting with blinds at 100/100. The blinds will be up to 2,000/4,000/4,000 by Level 15, the final level of play for Day 1.
Players will take 15-minute breaks after every third level, with a 75-minute dinner break after Level 9 around 6:30 p.m. local time.
The October 2019 edition of the Big Stax 1100 drew 370 entries, for a total prize pool of $394,790.
