- Total Entries: 489
After six levels of Day 1 action, no one has pulled away from the field. There are three players around 125k that are setting the pace heading into the 600 big blind.
Gordon has a slight edge with ~128k and is in first place for the time being. Gordon has been off to a torrid start in 2018. He has posted two five-digit scores bringing his career earnings up to $58k. He finished 14th in the Borgata Winter Open Kick-Off event for $13,539 and then followed that up with a 5th in a $400 Monster Stack Event at the Spring Open for $17,206.
Gil, who shares a table with Gordon, is at ~125k and in the Top 3. Gil has just one tournament cash on his resume making him one of the many recreational players to try his hand at the Big Stax series. Gil’s table is 2nd in the break order which gives him just a level or two to take a shot at the other big stack in his rotation.
Ying is a familiar face on the Parx felt and is once again off to a good Day 1 session. He has built up an arsenal of ~125k heading into the 600 big blind. In total, Ying has ~$170k in live earnings and will be looking to improve on his 24th place finish in the 300 Main Event at Big Stax XIX, which is currently his deepest run here at Parx.
