The Parx Casino Big Stax XIII 300 event attracted a field of 1,520 entries. With a buy-in of $330, the tournament generated a prize pool of $433,200. Topping the pack was a very familiar face to the Parx Casino poker room, as ambassador Matt Glantz took the title and earned a $55,357 payday.
Although he won the event as a representative of the room, amid his run to the winner's circle Glantz released news that he would be leaving his position as Parx Casino and Parx Poker Room ambassador come November.
"It is with mixed emotions I announce that as of November I will be leaving my position with Parx Casino and the Parx Poker Room," Glantz posted on Twitter on Friday.
