Bosu Avunoori Leads the Pack in the Parx Big Stax 500
The Parx Big Stax 500 has hit the home stretch, with only one day of play left before a winner is crowned. Sunday's Day 2 flight saw a field that began with 407 players trimmed down to 42 by night's end, and those players will come back Monday for Day 3 and play down to a winner at Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.
With one day to go, it's Bosu Avunoori (4,270,000) in the chip lead. Others bagging big at the end of Day 2 include Joey Deforca (3,240,000), Nicholas Skyllas (2,405,000) and David Clarke (2,385,000).
The field played through 10 one-hour levels on Day 2. Play will resume at Level 25 Monday, with the blinds at 20000/40000/40000. The tournament will proceed with 90-minute levels on Day 3.
A total of 1496 entries came through for the Big Stax 500, and the money bubble burst Sunday, with 152 players getting paid.
The first-place prize of $126,995 is on the line as a champion will be crowned Monday. After four days of play in the Parx East building, the tournament will move over to the Parx Casino poker room for the final day.
