Big Stax 500 (Day 1B): Liberto Love
Justin Liberto (Baltimore, MD) has been showered with Tweets and texts since chopping the Big Stax 300 earlier in the week. The Tweets keep coming, but the subject matter has switched to him being the chip leader after Day 1A of the Big Stax 500. Liberto bagged 791,000 to end the night, so the bar is now set pretty high for players in the following starting days. Day 1B will begin just after 11:00am, and the live coverage of the event will commence at that time.

Total Entries: 248
There are certain times that a tournament professional will have a run over weeks/months where they seemingly go deep in every event they play. Justin Liberto felt primed going into Big Stax 300, and he proceeded to chop the event with Alex Queen. He's once again putting himself in solid position going into the end of the night, just winning a pot bring him over 330,000. Liberto is now in contention to bag the chip lead, and as the final level of the night creeps up, the big stacks will be posted.

Every time a glance is made over at Table 46, it seems as if Frank Loffreno is scooping up a pot. He is the chip leader with only three levels left in the night, holding over 420,000. His closest threat for the bonus hasn't crossed 300,000 yet, but things tend to change as the last minutes of Level 15 tick away.

Level 12 (Blinds 1,000/2,000/300)
Total Entries: 243
Ruthie Ruffman (Colts Neck, NJ) just picked up a pot worth over 100,000, and has surpassed the 200,000 mark with those chips. Ruffman was faced with a 40,000 river bet on a nine high board (with Matt Glantz behind to act), and thought about it for a little before calling. Glantz said he was going to snap call if she folded, but he found himself deep in thought as well. He decided not to overcall, and when Ruthie flipped over K 9 (top pair) for the win (opponent missed straight draw), found out it was the wrong decision. Glantz said he folded the winning hand, but he still sits with an average chip stack.

Anthony Maio (Jamison, PA) has already kicked off this year with a WPT final table at the Borgata.

He's still looking for his first cash at Parx, but his 25 recorded cashes for over $475,000 bolster any resume.

Level 7 (Blinds 300/600/100)
Total Entries: 190
Manh Nguyen (Munhall, PA) is an accomplished tournament player, with over $350,000 in career earnings. Nguyen has 33 lifetimes cashes, but he is still looking for his first Big Stax finish in the money. Manh is rocking the fedora today, so he wasn't recognizable at first. He can no longer hide though as he is one of the chip leaders in the field with 145,000.

Level 6 (Blinds 250/500/50)
Total Entries: 173
Antonio Payne (Hazlet, NJ) fell short of cashing the Big Stax 300, making a solid run after his recent success at the WSOPC (Harrah's Chester). He found himself shortly early, but just got a double to 50,000 after his Q 10 > 3 3 on the 10 J 3 K 9 runout. Payne rivered the straight to take down the pot, and looks now to bag chips on one bullet once again.

Big Stax 500 (Day 1A): Sonne Is Shining
Level 5 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Entries: 170
The action was picked up on flop at Table 35. With 10,000 in the pot already, and a flop of J♥ 10♥ 4♠, Satish Surapaneni was all-in for 75,000. Two players were to act, one of which was Jonathan Sonne, a Parx cash game regular (10/10 NL). After the player on the button folded, Sonne would make the call for less, and the two hands would be tabled. Sonne's 10♣ 10♠ would have the 9♥ 2♥ of Satish drawing dead after a J♠ on the turn.
Jonathan would more than double up to 95,000, while Satish drops down to below the original starting stack.

Big Stax 500 (Day 1A): Ahead Of Pace
Level 4 (Blinds 150/300/50)
Total Entries: 163
In February of this year, the Big Stax series reached a point that not many saw coming. The Big Stax 300 (over 1,800 entries) and 500 (over 800 entries) both saw record fields, and it was clear that the tournaments put their stamps on the poker community. As of right now, with 165 total entries at this point in Day 1A, the pace is way ahead of February. More players continue to enter/re-enter at a steady pace, with Allison Schultz and Jonas Wexler the most recent to walk over.

Big Stax VI (Big Stax 300): Recap
@ParxPokerRoom's sixth installment of the Big Stax series kicked off last Thursday with the Big Stax VI 300. Coming off of record numbers in February, the excitement leading up to this series was clear. Players flocked to satellites during the month of April, offering packages which included seats to the Big Stax 300 & 500 events. The Big Stax VI lead off event attracted 1,351 entries and touted a first place prize over $80,000.
Each poker tournament takes on a life it's own, with the theme of this event "the story." The headline would be two of the east coast's poker "good guys" chopping up the event. Alex Queen (Bethlehem, PA) and Justin Liberto (Baltimore, MD) played only a few hands heads up before discussing a chop and agreeing to the numbers. The two players have close to $2,000,000 in combined career earnings, and resumes any tournament player would be happy to boast.
The three Day 1's brought us the opening to this tale, as players were coming off the prestigious WPT Championship and a WSOP Circuit series in the weeks leading up to Big Stax VI. Parx regular and tournament pro Antonio Payne (Hazlet, NJ) would show up on Day 1A coming off a circuit main final table. That wouldn't be lead though as Payne won his first circuit ring as well only days earlier. A handful of other regs in the field were coming off of nice scores/wins, including Kevin Grabel, Laurence Wolf, and Mohammed Farah. Day 1C would coincide with Kentucky Derby day, and the buzz was great throughout the day. Not only were the track patrons abound, but so were the bullets, as players were doing all they could to bag chips. After three days of poker and unlimited re-entries throughout, Staffan Lind (Vero Beach, FL) would be the chip leader going into Day 2.
The story would wrap up on Day 3, but not before story lines unfolded throughout. Eriquezzo's miracle run would end in the late afternoon, as he was eliminated in 17th place for $3,056. David Kim and Danny Yip would bubble the final table, but those who made it created the conclusion. Ray Ross (Maple Glenn, PA) would reach his third Big Stax final table, showing the consistency that makes a winning tournament pro. Sheri Moores (Wayne, PA) held the torch for the ladies in this event, as she continued the trend of women players at the final table (5th place - $13,753). Amateurs Michael Wang (6th place) and Phillip Yan (3rd place) showed quality play throughout in their breakout scores to date. In the end though it would be two of more accomplished players in the field, let alone the final table that would be left standing in the end. Both players felt primed to do well in this event, and hope that they can ride the momentum into the rest of Big Stax VI and the WSOP that follows.

Day 2 would bring one of the stories of the tournament, as Ryan Eriquezzo (Danbury, CT) bought in that morning for the starting stack (30,000 which was six big blinds). Not only would Eriquezzo survive to reach the money bubble, he would have one of the largest stacks going into Day 3!!! Notables to cash in the event, but not make Day 3 included Matt Glantz (139th), Jonas Wexler (100th), Jonathan Kramer (67th), Peter Ippolito (59th), and Tru Le (24th).

Level 31 (Blinds 100,000/200,000/25,000)
Players Remaining: 2
Philip Yan opened the pot to 450,000 and Queen defends the big blind. The flop comes out J 10 5 and the action goes check-check. After the A on the turn, Queen check calls 450,000. The river brings another A, and Alex check-jams Yan's 1,500,000 river bet. Yan would ask for a count, only to find out he was covered by Queen. Philip would make the call and Alex would table A 5 (rivered full house), and Yan would table AK.

Queen would send Philip to the podium with that tough beat, and is now the chip leader heads up:

Alex Queen doubles through Philip Yan once again, as he check-raised the turn against Phillip, on a board of 4 5 8 A. Yan would three-bet all-in and Queen would quickly call and turn over 5 5 (flopped set). Philip would be drawing dead as he tabled AJ, and Queen is now up to 14,000,000.
