James Gilbert moves in to the Top 5 after getting a double through Joe Palma before their table broke a few minutes before break. He is now working with ~255k, over 100 big blinds, with three levels to go in the session.
Gilbert is a tournament regular with ~$1.37M in live earnings. His last major score came during the WSOP where he finished 3rd in a $1500 Bounty Event for $119,479. He is still looking for his first Big Stax Final Table and it is only a matter of time before a player of his quality will breakthrough the field here at Parx.
Scott Fitzgerald starts Level 13 with ~230k. He recently banked his career best score and the biggest Final Table of his career at Borgata. He chopped the Kickoff Event, a $600 buy-in, taking the 4th largest pay-out of $78,321. That score brings his career earnings to ~$117k and leaves him in excellent form as of late. Fitzgerald will now look to make his 2nd Big Stax Final Table after previously finishing 9th in the 1100 at Big Stax XIII.
