Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
All four Day 1 flights are now complete in the Parx Big Stax 300. The fourth and final opening day flight went down Saturday, as Day 1d drew more than 940 entries to Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.
That big field trimmed down to less than 200 players by night's end, and the Day 1d survivors will join the 208 players that made it through Day 1a, 1b and 1c to advance in the tournament. All of the players that bagged over the past four days will come back Sunday for Day 2, with the combined field coming back for a noon restart.
Among the big stacks bagging Day 1d are names like Mikhail Patish (696,500), who appeared to end the night with the Day 1d chip lead, as well as the biggest stack overall coming back for Day 2.
Others in contention include Sharath Sreeramoju (572,000), Eric Valerio (539,500), Joseph Galazzo (536,000), and John Ciafolo (424,000).
The field played through 14 45-minute levels Saturday, ending with the blinds at 1500/300/3000/ Play will resume at Level 15 Sunday, and the structure will switch to one-hour levels until the final table is reached.
The 948 entries on Day 1d brings the total number of entries to 2,174 for the tournament. Late registration is still available through the beginning of Level 16, the second level of play, Sunday.
