Agreed, would be sweet to have secondary events fire off either before or after the start of Day 2 on any of the 3 mains.

Question. I plan on coming down for the main of their tournament series in October. They have 3 hotels listed on the site as recommended to stay. They are:

1. Holiday Inn- Bensalem

2. Best Western Plus, and

3. Extended Stay America

Can you guys tell me which one is the best to stay in based on proximity to Parx, cleanliness, etc.

im pretty sure ill be at parx even tho it's not good that these guys didn't check up on each other beforehand. and i know it's probably foxwoods' fault because their series last year was later on in the month and they moved it up while parx's dates stayed the same

Greater than 60 less than 110 would be my guess. Kindof hard to judge. Last series this satty was on a Wednesday. If I remember correctly it was a 200+30. So different day+different buy-in.

Gonna be there for 1d of the $330. It's my first time at Parx. Will I need to worry about getting a seat if I show up a half hour or so before cards are in the air? Or do they have plenty of room to accomodate everyone?

I have no idea on logistics or the layout of the place. Is the tourney in the poker room or a banquet hall? Which parking area is closest to the poker room or tournament room? Thanks guys.

I've never seen crazy lines there, and they always seem to be able to accommodate all the players. I've only been there for one event during the last couple series, but feel like I would have heard if that changed.

The poker room is in the building on the left (once you pull into parking lot). Park near that one.

Overall I was impressed. It was a pretty nice room. The tournament was awesome, sick value for a $330 with $100k up top. Can't beat that. The cash games were also pretty juicy. I'll be going back for the next series.
