- Big Stax XXIV 1500 Main Event 9:00 PM
- Level 11 (800/1600/200)
- Day 1A Entries: 139
Bagdasarov is up to ~250k and in fine shape midway through Level 11. Fellow big stack, Josias Dos Santos, is also in his rotation with ~220k.
Bagdasarov has just over $20k in live earnings but is going for back to back cashes in this event after finishing 44th at Big Stax XXIII for $2,955. The Philly player notches his career best score last year in the WPT Legends of Poker in LA finishing 25th for $15,360 in the $4k buy-in.
Johnson is right on his heels with ~230k. Johnson appears to be making his Parx debut. He is a player out of Reno, Nevada with ~117k in live earnings. He had an excellent year at the WSOP in 2017 putting him his three best career scores including a 7th in a $1k event for $39,937.
Johnson has a pretty tough table to contend with for the final levels of Day 1A. Howard Burton and Neal Gay are both in his rotation and have been playing very well at Big Stax XXIV. Also, former Big Stax Champion Travis Hartshorn is there as well. However, Johnson has all the chips for the time being but he just said “They can go away very quickly.”
