Past Big Stax champions remaining include Greg Himmelbrand and Tiffany Wong. Himmelbrand has about half the chip average with about 300k, he won a 2015 Big Stax 500 and also has a couple second place finishes from about 10 years ago. Wong won summer 2024 big stax 750 followed by a 2nd place finish the following year in the same event. Wong recently lost most of her chips and has less than 10 BB with about 100k in chips. Wong has shown in the past she can run up a solid chip lead, but will need to find a good spot soon to put her chips at risk to double up and avoid elimination.
