Big Stax 300 (Day 1B): Popularity Is Clear

As Level 6 begins (blinds 250/500/50), the number of entries so far (combined) has gone over 500.  It's clear that the Big Stax series have become extremely popular among the poker community, especially this opening $330 event.  We see the same players that were coming for the Parx Open Poker Classic (our first tournament series ever run) returning time after time, but the new faces that now travel here for these events are abundant.  

This opening event has attracted over 1,000 entrants multiple times, making the value of the tournament skyrocket.  From the short history these series have, this field should end up well north of 1,000, making first place somewhere in the $60,000 range.  As the tournaments success continues, and the Parx Poker brain trust makes changes to better each series, there will be much to look forward to in 2014.
